Your other hobbies?

The old and trusty Canon AE-1 we use does deliver. The lenses always cost a fortune though, almost always more than the actual camera.

Genuine Fender strat or a remake?

[Aypok]

I write and record music: http://www.last.fm/music/Marshall`s+Convicts. I used to play in some local bands, but all the musicians I knew have moved away.

Coding is the only other real hobby I have; usually writing little games that never get finished. Mostly for the Sega Master System or Linux, but I've been playing around with the DS recently.

Miniature railway (or however it's called in English).

My other hobby is programming on the Sega Saturn. I'm writing an open source library that'll allow development on the Saturn easier.

If you get out of the city, yeah, I'm sure there are. I mean, shit, there's mountains everywhere. I think hiking is a lot more common though. :) I live right smack in the middle of the city. No trails that I'm aware of, but a few parks, and it's a very bicycle friendly place. I rode in this morning. Most Japanese people don't work until 9AM (I'm in at 8) so the roads are really empty. Going home is another story.

Having lived years here of being a slave to the train system and a shit job (didn't make enough money to take a $30 cab ride home after last train), I now like being able to go to those hard-to-reach places, and at any time I want. To me, that's half the joy of the bicycle life style here.

You probably wouldn't be impressed though. I rode in Austin quite a bit, which has some great trails. But hey, it's apples and oranges. A friend of mine is in a bicycle club. Every few Sundays they ride from Shinjuku to Odaiba, drink beer for a couple of hours, then ride back.

I guess my main question was does Japan have "state" parks (I have no clue what to call the equivalent for other countries) or national forests where there are trails designated for Mountain biking and stuff. I'm not much of an urban biker, or street biker.

Here's a really good example of what I'm talking about:

The Ouachita National Forest takes up a good portion of central-western Arkansas, and even goes into Oklahoma, and has a lot of trails that are meant for hiking, mountain biking, etc. These trails are maintained by the Forestry Service. Obviously, other states have these kinds of forests and parks as well. Do you know if Japan has anything comparable?

Sure, I don't have much stuff but when I have some time I'll post them. :D

ZueriHB: You look like you are a 3 rail user. :nod: Although I prefeer the regular DC 2 rail system.

Btw that EMU looks very good. Where is it from?

[Hawanja]

I like to pretend I'm an artist (hence the deviant art link in my sig.)

I draw a new monster every day at:

Freaks, Mutants, & Monsters

I collect toys, although not as much anymore. Currently I'm attempting to sell off all the common stuff. Sucks that all the stuff I want to hang onto is actually worth something while the things I want to get rid of are worthless, but I guess that's how it works.

I collect comics (although not as much anymore.) I probably have somewhere in the area of 3,000 - 5,000 comics, a lot of Marvel books from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. Lately I only buy stuff for the artwork, don't really follow stories too much (although the Red Hulk story is pretty cool.)

I also noticed that I have a rediculous amount of DVDs, made a list of them and it went to like 600 titles. I wasn't even trying to "collect" them or anything, just looked up one day and I had them. I'm not even like a film buff or anything.
