And sticking with things that happened a million years ago, here is a pic from Kumamoto where I went for Halloween. We stayed at a hotel called Sekia Hills, which was apparently built by some sort of rich eccentric man who didn't realise that a hotel resort, complete with numerous high-end boutiques and artificial ski slope, probably wouldn't do great business in the middle of the countryside in southern Japan. The hotel is still open and parts of the shopping mall are available to rent (for such events as Halloween parties). This is a picture of the abandoned ski gondola system. Spooky...
