Nagano Round 2

So I was able to get back to Nagano recently to meet up with some folks. Not much planned for the trip, but a lot happened. It was good fun. A little karaoke, some monkeys, some ski jumping in the middle of the summer. Fantastic.

Note to anyone that wants to go see the monkeys at the onsen outside of Nagano city, go at the end of the day, near the 5 o'clock closing time. That's when they feed them. And its crazy.


The next day we went to go see ski jumping in Hakuba where they held the event during the winter games. Apparently there is also luge here later on and they let people try it... I know I'm interested. We made some friends with some folks at the ski jumping. They were fans from the area supporting a Japanese ski jumper. He came in sixth, but the way they were partying you would have thought otherwise. I've got to say its rare that I have a beer before 11 now that I'm out of college, but these people were throwing down at 10 in the morning.
