Hi. This is Paul. Known to some of you as Kibishipaul. And it's February 21st and I'm on my first skiing trip of the season. I've got something great to show you. Just turn the camera around. Yeah, what do you think of that? This is Niigata, in Japan and it is a beautiful day. Just beautiful. Just look at those mountains. Don't you wish you were here? Well, grab the skis, jump on an airplane. Jump on a train. It's an hour from Tokyo. Gala ski jou. Yeah!

Okay. Just to show you a little bit more of what I'm seeing today and tell you about Gala. Gala is a ski resort built specifically for people who live in Tokyo. You can get here in about one hour by shinkansen and it costs about $120 to $130. for a days skiing. That's train included and ski rental. It's just a great place to come. Look at those mountains. There are lots of ski grounds around here but this is the most popular.

Okay. Down there is where I'm going to eat lunch. It's called Cowabunga. That's a great name for a restaurant. And I'm going to eat 'katsu curry'. For those of you who think I'm going to eat one of our feline friends, it's not quite correct. Katsu curry is pork cutlets, rice and curry. And it's really warm today, but there's about two and a half meters of snow which is great for skiing.

Now I'm going to try something really stupid and all of you kids at home please don't try this. This is for experts or complete idiots only. I'm going to try skiing while taking a video. Okay, give me five minutes to prepare and we'll be off.

Yiiihaaa!

Well, that's it. Hope you enjoyed the day. See you again soon.
