Ho ho ho, and other Christmas and other holiday sentiments!
It's already getting near that time! Can you believe it?

GAJET will be hosting it's annual Christmas Enkai at Lake Haruna on Friday, December 5th!!
Come celebrate your Christmas in Japan before you head home, to Thailand or just to your normal run of bon-enkai. The location is awesome - if you haven't been up to Lake Haruna, it's beautiful! (Just ask Darc or Jeevy)

It's all inclusive, dinner (plus all you can drink), breakfast, room and transport to/from Takasaki station. Not to mention a great onsen overlooking the lake. I know I say this about everything, but it's a going to be a great time.

I'm totally in.

It'l be my 3rd time going up there. It truly is beautiful. Well, both times i saw it were in the summer. The long and difficult bike ride up there is all worth it in the end when you see just how awe inspiring it is.

BTW, if anyone wants to test drive around Haruna lake, go to your nearest amusement/video game center - find a game called Initial D Arcade stage 4, choose your car, choose "Akina lake" (it's under an alias name) and voila.

Just... The game does nothing to capture how truly nice the lake is.

You know if you answere'd your phone more you'd have gotten a free ride up there a few times... admittedly at night tho :p

as much as I reallly do want to come along my winter clothes box is still "in transit" as the tracking website says and with no further info available i may need every little scrap of munny i can get to buy warm clothes. if it comes before the enkai and there is stil space i'll let you know.

as for wanting a drive to lake haruna... its more fun in real life than in the game... if you haven't been, message me and get to shibs... if i have fuel, then lucky you, if i don't we'll split the bill. I don't need much of an excuse to go up there :3...

this invitation is open for anybody, anytime.. so long as its not snowing.

So are rooms individual? Or

So are rooms individual?

Or are they traditional style?

traditional style

it's a typical modern ryokan, nice wide room and maids who lay out your big fluffy futons before bed time.

(right Brooke?)

maid costume anyone?

Given your past performance(s), Jeevy, methinks you may miss the subtleties of ryokan service and opt instead for a group of chairs and set up camp there. ;)

As far as rooms are concerned, it's small group love. 4 to a room...each room providing more than enough space. Quite lovely!

As far as a maid to put out and fluff your futon, I suggest finding a maid costume and a willing participant and you're all set! :D

Lyle, am I missing something? Where's Dann0 on "the list?"

Hey Lyle,

I sent you an email earlier today (30th). It's not too late to make changes right? I need to cancel my reservation before you book them. I found out I have a BOE Christmas party the same night that I have to go to!

Thanks Lyle,
