Japan Day 9


Despite stumbling out of bed this morning with a numbing pain in my right lower leg and a stabbing pain in my back, I found today to be one of the more interesting and pleasant days of the trip.

Japan Day 6


I was woken up by a strange dream this morning. I dreamed I was in a co-worker’s home, which is strange as I have never been to any of my co-workers’ homes before.

Japan Day 5


It’s Day 5 and we have arrived at Fujikawaguchiko, a resort town near the foot of Mount Fuji, after a 2-hour bus ride. I’m so glad it’s not as hot and humid here, compared to Tokyo.

I can’t say the flight was at all comfortable and I can’t say I liked the part where I am waiting at airports with inconsistent internet speed but I’m glad to the transit is at least temporarily over.
