So here I am at the airport about to hop on a plane to Las Vegas, going to this trade show called SIA. For those of you who don’t know, it’s basically the place where everyone in the snowboard industry goes to launch their new equipment or whatever. It pretty much turns into one big party and it’s cool because it’s one of the few places you get to see everyone at the same time. This is me at the airport, drinking the first of what ended up being a reckless amount of tall beers… I hadn’t eaten anything that day so the beer was making me insta-drunk.

Obviously I made it to Vegas, but I didn’t find any food… all we found were big plastic cups of wine served to us on the plane and I passed out on route. I just woke up before landing in Vegas and already felt hung-over… great start to my trip!

ショータ日本へ。Shota is leaving for Japan.
今朝ついにショータ&タローさんも日本へ向け出発してしまいました。
続々とみんなカナダから離れていって寂しい時期になってますよ。。。


ショータは今年初めてモービルにチャレンジ。
初めの頃は全然乗れてなかったけど、シーズン最後にはかなり乗りこなしてジャンプ狂になっちゃいました。(笑)
慣れないバックカントリーでの撮影も楽しい事、大変だった事いろいろあったな〜。
久しぶりの日本でリフレッシュしてね!
This morning, Shota and Taro left for Japan.
Everybody is leaving Canada and it makes me sad...
This season, Shota had his first experience with snowmobiling.
When he started riding his sled, he wasn’t good at all but at the end of
the season he became jump crazy. :)
We got so many things done in the unfamiliar back country.
I hope Shota will enjoy and be relaxed in Japan.

じゅんです It's Jun

My son - TAITO.

| - | - | - |
どーもじゅんです Hello, it’s Jun.
カナダに行く何日か前に産まれた たいと君です
やっとあえましたカナダから帰ってきたらすでに
でかかったっよ
びっくりとりあえず仙台で今
はゆっくりしてまーす。
ではまた。
This is “TAITO”, he was born a few days before I left for Canada.
I was really happy to see him when I came home.
He was already getting big!
I’m having a good time relaxing with my family in Sendai.
See ya.

ハート型。Heart shaped...
この前、久しぶりにスノーモービル行ってきた時にテントウ虫を発見しました。虫眼鏡

『こんな山の上にいるんだなぁー』なんてよ〜く見てみると…
何と背中の模様がハート形!?
何かheartつながりでちょっと嬉しかったな〜!
ラッキー
I saw some ladybugs when I went snowmobiling last time.
I was surprised to see that ladybugs live up in the mountain too. So I looked
closely...
You know what? There were some heart shaped prints on their back?!
I felt a heart connection with the ladybug and that made me happy.
This was my first time to see ladybugs. They must have emerged from
hibernation.


カナダに来て初めて発見。暖かくなって出て来たのかな?
The snow is melting on the lake in hot weather.

暑さで湖の雪も融けてきてます。
There are many wild plants called “Taranome” (Aralia elata). It is the head of the Devil's Club plant.
Deep-fried Taranome is sooooo tasty!


雪がないところで山菜『たらの芽』もいっぱい。天ぷらでいただくとGOOD!

The dead tree looked like an octopus sitting on a rock.

岩の上にちょこんと立っていたタコみたいな枯れ木。

山に上がるまでの途中の雪がなくて険しかったけど、ほのぼのしてて楽しかったです。
でも残念ながら今シーズンのモービルは最後かも…
ちょっとさみしいなぁ〜
プシュー

Most of the snow has melted so the road was steep but we still could have
some fun.

It’s really a pity that it would be the last time for snowmobiling this
season...




Party♪


どもです!ケイジです。
6日は自分の誕生日会を開いてもらいました!
しかもコウスケも7日に帰ってしまうのでみんなでワイワイ飲んでます。
おいしい料理、いい時間をつくってくれたみんなありがとう!
Hello! It’s Keiji.
Everybody held a birthday party for me on 6th!
The party was also for Kosuke who is leaving for Japan tomorrow.
Everybody gathered and drank too much.
Thank you everybody for the nice food and great time!


ビール一気でパーティースタート!           ケイジ
Drinking beer to start. This is Keiji.

エディターのノブ&コウスケ              Yuhoファミリー
Kosuke and Nobu-editor. Yuho's family.
パーティーの途中、近くのゴミ置き場にでっかい熊がいると聞いたのでみんなで見に行ってきました。コウスケの小刻みダッシュかなり速かったな〜。(笑)
『こっちにいるよ〜!』と教えてもらって行ってみると、民家の庭に今まで見た中でとびきりデカい熊を発見!
In the middle of the party, we heard that a big bear was near the house so
we went to see him. Kosuke’s dash was so fast! :)
We heard someone say “It’s this way!” and found the huge bear in our
neighbor’s yard! We were watching the bear from some distance and then a police came with a gun!
His face was serious and we felt the intimidation.




離れたところから見ていると警官が登場。何と手元にはショットガン。
顔はマジだし、威圧感あったな〜。
誕生日にいいもの見れたかも…?
I am lucky to see such a rare
incident on my birthday?



5日はショータの誕生日でした!
ケーキ2
ついに20歳かぁ〜、日本でお祝いしてもらったかな?
おめでとうショータ!

June 5th was Shota’s birthday! He became 20!
Happy birthday Shota! Did you have a nice birthday?

おぉいっ HELLOOO
どうもーくもりエディターのノブです。
今日、コウちゃんがウイスラーより日本へと帰国しました。もう着いたかな
!?
そっ、そういえば〜
冷や汗ときめきショックびっくり怒り 旅行から帰ってくるはずのタダシが帰ってこないびっくり!びっくり
お〜〜〜い!帰ってこ〜い
冷や汗冷や汗冷や汗
It’s Nobu the editor.
Kosuke left for Japan today. I hope he’ll get home safely.
Come to think of it, Tadashi was supposed to be back from his trip by now, but
he’s not.
Helloo Tadashiiii Come baaaaaack!




帰って来たよ〜! I’m back!
帰る日にちを間違って言ってたみたい(笑)
いつもの事じゃん。。。オレ。
旅行は、良いですな〜。やっぱり楽しい〜。
サーフィンもやったしギャンブルもやったし言うこと無いっす。
帰ってきたばっかで明日から日本だ。。。。。。
誰かオレを見かけたら声をかけてな〜〜〜(笑)
2007.06.10 Sunday
I told the wrong return date to everybody.
It often happens. That’s me, Tadashi.
Travel abroad is great! It’s super fun!
I’m so satisfied that I went surfing and gambling.
I’m leaving for Japan tomorrow too...Time goes by way too fast.
Holler when I see you in Japan!


タダシ 日本へ。 Tadashi left for Japan!
どもでーす!フィルマーのケイジです。
昨日タダシがやっと帰ってきたと思ったら、いきなり日本に向けて旅立ってしまいました。なんて忙しい人なんでしょうか…

2007.06.11 Monday

Hello, it’s Keiji-filmer.

Yesterday Tadashi came back from his trip to Hawaii and Las Vegas and today he left for Japan to do some Burton and Redbull stuff.

What a busy guy!

Lately, we are having so much rain in Whistler.

It’s unusually cold and not very sunny for this time of year.

We have started to edit our film so some times I don’t leave the house all day.

Nobu is eating Pringles like a bear. Pringles is his dinner today.

In a few days on heartTV, the KFC face off between Dice-K
Maru (photographer) and Zizo (photographer) will be shown!

The rule is very simple. Who can eat the most Kentucky Fried Chicken...

We Do Not recommend attempting this...You should just enjoy KFC!



お楽しみに!
For you lazy guys who don't want to go click to HEART TV, I put a post here for you to enjoy!

働き者 A Hard Worker
どーもーコニシでスー。
今日は普段なら表に出ない、heartfilmsの縁の下の力持ちの1人、
タジマーケーイージーーー!
を紹介します。
なんせ働き者なんです。ほらこの通り。

2007.06.12 Tuesday

Hello, it’s Koni!

Today, we introduce one of the silent forces of heatfilms - KEIJI TAJIMA!!!

He is a really hard worker. See?







ケイジはもともとカナダでスノーモービルやったるでー!と友達3人で乗り込んで来た元ライダーなんですねー。なもんでタマにカメラバッグを降ろしてフリーランする時なんかノリノリでイケイケ。いつも自分の体よりでっかいバッグ背負って滑ってるからストレスたまってるんでしょうねー。
いつのまにか忠専属フィルマーになって16mmまで扱える様になって、ホントに成長したもんだ。。なんてワイが出会ったのはつい最近なんやけどね。エラそうな事言いました。
ケイジの事もっといっぱい書きたいけどもう書けません。おやすみー。

Originally Keiji was a rider and stormed into Canada to do some snowmobiling
with his friends.

When he snowboards without his camera bag, he is really excited
and has so much fun.

I believe that carrying that big, heavy, camera bag (it’s
even bigger than Keiji himself) is much more stressful work than we could
imagine.

He became Tadashi’s filmer since...I don’t know when, but now he can
even use a 16mm camera!

He has grown up...Even though, I got to know him only recently though ...haha.

I would like to write about Keiji more and more but I should stop here.

Good night.




どーもです! What’s up?
フィルマーのタローです。
今回は、ショータの髪型特集です。

2007.06.13 Wednesday

It’s Taro!
Today’s feature is Shota’s hair styles.

At first, he was blond,

最初は金髪に変身!!



and then he went back to black...

でも、また黒に


and then to his famous Helmet hair...which he came and rode the Blackcomb park without a real helmet...
これは、要ヘルメットのパークを滑る時の対策として発案した、ヘルメットヘアー。


then Helmet hair part 2...

その第二弾



and then a Mohawk!!

そして、ついにモヒカン!!


And then he end up with his shaved hair for this season. (Whistler in the back
ground).


シーズン終了と言う事で、ウィスラーをバックに丸坊主。



Shota’s super smile at the airport in Japan.
Good job, Shota!

最後に久しぶりの日本で、スーパー笑顔。  
ショータ、お疲れさんでしたー!!



東京タワーの旅 Tokyo Tower
きのうお台場でBURTNのミーティングがあったんですよ!
なかなかいいミーティングで良かった〜。やっぱり意見を聞いたり言ったりするのは、大切だな〜ってね!!!
んで今日の朝、ショータが東京タワーに行きたいって言い出してよ〜し行くか〜って事に。いい運動になって良かったですよ〜。
帰りぎわに食ったそばもうまかった〜。けっこう今日は、汗だくでした。

2007.06.15 Friday

There was a BURTON meeting at Odaiba, Tokyo!

It was such a productive meeting!

I was reminded that it’s important to listen to everybody’s opinions and also to express my opinions!

This morning, Shota suggested to go to the Tokyo Tower and we all went there.

It was really good exercise.

The Soba (buckwheat noodle) which we ate on our way home was so tasty.

I was super sweaty all day but enjoyed myself! Japan is HOT!!!

I found this on the internet.

What he's carrying is a huge cat fish!

It’s over two-meters-long!

There are some people who dedicate their lives to catching huge cat fish so they go to Kazakhstan.

The guy’s underwear indicates his dedication....


おっす! Hey, what’s up?
こんにちは。
あっ、こんばんはか。
編集もいよいよ始まり、時間が逆転してきているエディターのノブです。

がんばるぞ

2007.06.18 Monday

Good afternoon.
Well, good evening actually.

We just started editing and I’m living in a world where day and night are
reversed...It’s Nobu - the editor.
Most of the footage has gone through the editing process and I am thankful for all the riders.
All I can do to finish everyone's great efforts is by creating the best film ever!!!
I’m feeling a good kind of pressure on me and I will do my best!

恐る恐るモップを片手に音がした方へ向かってみると・・・


・・・そこにはぁーー・・・?!!


2007.06.21 Thursday

Bamp! Thud!!

We heard those unfamiliar sounds around 4 am...

Meanwhile Nobu and Keiji were editing in another room and began to feel a bit of apprehension...

With their heart beating and a mop in hand they headed toward the sounds...

There was a...!!!



なんてかわいいラスカルちゃん♪
2本足なんかで立っちゃってキュートです。

でもベランダに置いてあった缶ビールを散らかし、金属の網戸に穴をあけていく悪いヤツ!

アライグマじゃなくて熊だったら確実に2人は終わってたかな!?
たらーっ

Wow!! What a sweet raccoon!

He stood on two feet and it was so cute.

But he messed up our beer cans on our balcony and broke a metal wire
screen!

If he was a bear we may have been dead by now!?

Whew!






NOBU'S MIND IS SUCKED INTO THE EDITING BUBBLE!!!

ヒドいですな〜〜〜〜〜(笑) Freaking...
三人こんなんなっちゃいましたよ。
ちょっと、ちょっと、こんなにヒドくなるまでエディティングやる。
オレだったらビアボングで一発気合いを入れるな〜。
分かった!明日は、あれで気合いを入れよう!
ほんじゃお楽しみに〜〜〜〜!

2007.06.23 Saturday

The three editors faces have begun to turn...

Hey hey, we shouldn’t keep editing non stop...our faces are beginning to change!

If I were you I would drink a beer with a beer bong to get a grip.

OK, let’s do it tomorrow!!

You’ll see!


いや〜酔っぱらった〜! We got tanked!
やりましたよ〜。
でも気合い入れたつもりが酒にやられちゃいました(笑)
やっぱりね〜お酒の力はスゴイ!
みなさ〜ん飲んだら車を運転しない方がいいですよ〜。
おまわりさんにガッツリ請求されるからね。
てなことでオレは、酒にやられてヘロヘロになっちゃいました〜。
(気合いの入れ方しっぱいです。)

チャンチャン!!
2007.06.25 Monday

We did what we said we would do...
I supposed to get super tanked but I couldn’t hold my liquor!!!
Don’t play down alcohol and you must not drive after drinking.
You will be fined a lot of money!
The beer got me. This way to get tanked was not a really good idea...



誰だ〜〜?!Who’s there?!
コン・コン・コンッ!


いつも来客など来ないドアからノックの音がっ!!

編集していたタロー、ノブ、ケイジに緊張が走る…

恐る恐るそのドアを開けてみるとみると・・・


・・・そこにはぁーー・・・?!!

2007.06.26 Tuesday
Knock knock knock!!
Someone was knocking on our door!!
We didn’t expect any visitors today...
Taro, Nobu and Keiji were editing then we froze...
We open the door very slowly...
There was...




どーもー
たかでーす。いきなりウィスラー来ちゃいました。
とりあえずハートメンバーとミーティング。
パソコンの多さとみんなのじみな作業にびっくりです。

Hello!! This is Taka!! A sudden visit to Whistler to ride CAMP OF CHAMPIONS new pro camp!!! -www.campofchampions.com
Anyway, We had a quick meeting with the Heart members and I was surprised by the number of PCs and editor’s that were working so hard!



いまパソコン講習中。 次からブログに書き込み出来るかな、、、?
Now I’m in a lesson. I should be able to write a blog next time...

たまには…Once in a while...
どもです!ケイジです。

たまに家から出ないとマズいんで、今日は忠とフォトグラファーのZIZO君と一緒にスケートしてきました!
グッド

駐車場の中にあるので雨の心配なくて調子いいです。

忠はお気に入りの新しいデッキで楽しそうに滑ってました。

いい汗かけて気持ちよかった〜。


この時期はスノーボードはもちろん、スケート、マウンテンバイク、クライミングなどなど体を動かす遊びが盛りだくさん。
天気がもう少しスカッと晴れたら最高なのにな〜!

2007.06.29 Friday
Hello this is Keiji.
We should leave the house once in a while so today I went skateboarding with Tadashi and Zizo.
The skateboard park is underground in a parking lot in Creekside so it’s nice that we don’t need to worry about the weather.
Tadashi looked happy to skateboard on his favorite new deck.
We had a good time and worked up a sweat.

This time of the year, we can have fun snowboarding, skateboarding,
mountain biking, rock-climbing and more.
It’s so nice and even nicer if we could have little more sunshine.



最近コットンツリーから飛びまくっている綿。空に舞ってる時は雪みたいです。


This cotton looks like it’s snowing.

My Journal: Moved again
By: elsnowboardo


So I've realized that I've moved over 9 times in less than 5 years.  First to Ellicottville NY, then to Viva Las Vegas for about 6 months, back to Cattaraugus NY, then to So. Lake Tahoe, from there to Monroe WA for about a week, up to Skykomish WA, then down to Leavenworth WA, from there it was Steamboat Springs CO, and now Summit County CO.   

With this last move I've upgraded in shops that I'm working in.  Its really interesting being back in a shop that carries 90% of the best snowboard gear in the world and skis.  Huge jump in the right direction to get where I want to be.  Let alone having a 5 mountain Vail pass for free rocks.  

New gear for this season:
Rome Targa's built on the first generation 390 frame
156 TR Awesome by O matic
156 Atomic Pivot
Vans Fargo Boas or maybe some Atomics?
162 K2 Gyrator
K2 Autolock bindings
Various Never Summer boards depending on what makes its way into my collection

JumpCamp breaking news, current events, the latest headlines, news photos, analysis & opinion on top stories, world, business, politics and general shred dogging!

Jib Jam-boree a hit!

The inaugural JumpCamp Jib Jam-boree rocked! Competitors came from far and wide with one thing in mind; JumpCamp Glory! We're talkin' spin-in, spin-out tricks on our brand new ledge ( thanks for the ledge Jim! ), frontside to backside slides on the rainbow rail and some crazy buttering of the muffin on the JumpCamp roof step-up, built especially for the comp. Other highlights include eating burgers and hot dogs in the rain. Thanks to all the sponsors and shreds for coming out! We're going to have another contest before the end of the season so check the website for dates.

Coach Matt Brown considers shaving his long locks after seeing Britney Spears' new do. "I think I'd look good with a buzz-cut", Brown said before press time.

Road trips!
We're been on a few road trips lately. At JumpCamp we really love holiday road.
We headed off to Las Vegas to hob-nob with the snowboard industry a little while ago. We rode around in limos, gambled and ate buffets daily.
Coach Javan Wyker, that lucky ass, is off to Revelstoke to test out all the new '08 Ski-Doo sleds. Hope he gets stuck lots! Haha...

Another beauty, was a road trip we did to see some pals in Nelson. It was -18, sunny and the powder was awesome! Our main man Marlin showed us around and shot pictures. Thanks Marl! Check out Gnarly Marly's website at www.marlinolynyk.com


Nathaniel Vossen's long awaited movie "This Was Your Life" is finally done.
No, for real, I'm not kidding this time 'round! You gotta believe me... C'mon dude, I'm serious. Nathaniel's been in production of this skateboard/snowboard/lifestyle movie for 12 years so you know the finished product is going to be amazing. He's told me that April is when he's going to be having all the premier parties for it around the Island and the Lower Mainland. Keep posted for premier dates, you don't wanna miss this!
 

Our bros at Onethirtythree have got a new website up! You can check out their team,skate/snowboard pics, spots, vids and sales going on at the shop. Pretty cool. Check it out at www.onethirtythree.com

CONCRETE - THE SKATE PARK ISSUE March 2007

Remember the mag Concrete Powder? Well, now it's just Concrete 'cause it's all skateboarding, no shred-doggin'. Anyways, the new Concrete No Powder has a killer article about Courtenay and some rad pics in the skateparks around here. Our good buddy Sascha Daley has a bunch of wicked pics in there including a sick one of him kickflipping in the corner of Courtenay's indoor bowl at The Linc and one of him ollieing off a wharf into the water in Tofino. Brrrrr, shrinky, shrinky! My favourite one is of some little kid in the old Courtenay park going huge over one of the hips and there's some good ones in the new park such as a sequence of local home-dog Calen Drysdale. Nice one boys. Go grab it on newstands or at your local skate shop yo!



SBC Skier Magazine: The North Issue, Volume 6 Issue 4
The new SBC Skier is out and there's a great article about Vancouver Island in it. Local two-planker legends Al Hokanson and Yasha Berg grace the pages of the magazine shralping such Island destinations as Mount Cain and Forbidden Plateau.
 

I thought you should know that...

JumpCamps are starting this weekend!

Session #1 Feb. 24-25 ( full )

Session #2 March 3-4
Session #3 March 17-18
Session #4 March 21-22
Session #5 March 24 ( one day Jam )
Camps are filling up! If you didn't already know bro, JumpCamp is for snowboarders who want to have fun and progress their skills, especially in the park and backcountry. So, if that's you, get your registration's in and secure your spot!

Thanks, See ya later.

My Journal: So many choices...
By: cazza21


You know, it's some much easier when you don't have a choice. then you just do what is there for you to do... i hate choices, mainly because I am so bad at them!
 
I know most of you have no idea what you're doing next week let alone for new years, but in the past couple weeks i have been bombarded with propositions, and since i have nothing better to do, I have been obsessively trying to solve my travel problems.  And well, since i seem to be doing no good at it, it's your turn to solve them for me! ha!
 
I have just got a part time job on top of my part time teaching gig.  That means that I should have enough cash to do 2 major trips this year.  Here are my options...so far.
 
New Years.
-I really really wanted to go back to Whistler.. that place is like my crack... but I know i'll be there again this year
- Calgary.   I spent new years there last year and had a great time with Jules adn the gang.  And if the EC boys are planing on road tripping out there, I may be easily convinced to join.
-Cali. Riding Mammoth and Tahoe.... the only catch is i only know one of the guys on the trip...and I'd rather go see my friends then his.  But, i still haven't been to the states.....
-Brazil: Beachhouse and surfing... sounds great.. although i'm partial to a boarding trip.
-Stay at home and save money for other random trips.
 
Then comes march break.. i was just going to keep it low key, but then last night I heard that a trip to Las Vegas may be in the works for a friends Birthday. haven't seen the girls for 4 years (they live in the States and Mexico) so it would be a nice getaway.. problem is it's only a weekend and not sure I want to spend all that cash on a little trip. I have an entire week.. but haven'T began to think about any other options yet... i mean that's next year! haha
 
Telus in Whistler
I am 99% sure i will be there, so this is my 2nd major trip of the year.

Nothing illustrates americas hypocritical drug policy more then las vegas. A cop there once told me If you get caught with any amount of illegal drug in las vegas you could either be heavily fined or do up to four years in prison. And i was like but isnt this vegas where gambling is legal? Yeah lose your car your house your life savings, go for it. And you can drink here too right all night long? Yeah its free drink till you puke we dont care. What if i get horny? GET A HOOKER. Just whatever you do dont go to your room by yourself, smoke a joint, eat a snickers and go to bed without bothering anyone.
 
You see son we're trying to clean up las vegas. We're trying to make it safe for the drunks who wanna gamble and f*ck whores all night.
 
Man, those drunken whore f*ckers got some nerve.....

"We have offers out in Canada, France, Switzerland, Colorado and California...this could lead to a full-time job of snowboarding and event planning for THE BLOCK Hotels, I wish I could apply," says Liko S. Smith, Managing Owner of THE BLOCK Hotels and Co-Executive Producer of the show. "Instead of a newspaper ad; we reached out to our friends in the snowboard community and we received more applicants than we could handle,"...he adds..." It's not as much a competition as it is a way to find the right person for the current need...one candidate will be selected, however everyone invited is going to win in some way," he finishes.
The final auditions include a 5-minute DVD from the applicant explaining why they are the ideal snowboarder for this position.  This weekend's events will include a series of opportunities for the right snowboarder to differentiate him or herself from other applicants by participating in team and individual activities.
 
The list of final applicant includes:
 
1. Ashlee Francis
2. Steve Caprio
3. Gary Hanson
4. Dan Gordan,
5. Michael Swift

I recently returned from the ski and snowboard tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was my third year at the show, but somehow very different than years before. Its common knowledge that Vegas is filled with drinking and debauchery, and in past years I had been both drunk and overindulged. It may have been that I was bitter for hauling my snowboard gear fifteen hundred kilometers and not getting to make use of it, or that friends had enlightened me about the liquor store across from the Hard Rock (thus getting me ten drinks for the price of two). Either way, I was completely inebriated the entire 4 days I was there. Sleep was minimal and memories are vague and unclear. I used pictures from my digital camera, and stories from friends to piece together a timeline of what happened and who I hung out with. I'm still not sure if I'm complaining about this years experiences or not; maybe I just need to tone it down a notch for next year, that way maybe I will recognize all these people that keep messaging me on snowboard dot com.

Hey World, Im in San Diego! Its been an awesome trip so far! We've been to San Francisco and LA for a while and weve been here in San diego for a couple of days now! Yesterday we oficially went border to border when we crossed into Tijuana Mexico. We went there for the day and that was plenty! Cheap Margharitas and Burritos and Donkeys painted to look like Zebras! Anyways, We havbe met up with Vic and her friend Georg from the hair thing in LA and we've been hangin out so its been cool. We have come up with a new idea and we think we might drive to Las Vegas in a couple of days to check that out over the weekend and then maybe go to the Grand Canyon and see that while we are over that way! We went to Sea world today and went swimming with some dolphins and saw Shamu, it was a good day I really like San Diego its heaps nicer than LA! But Umm yeah thats about it from me here and now,... I will write again soon!
