fujiyama experience report coming soon
Originally uploaded by jabberer.

Done. The experience will be still vividly in my memory as long as the muscle ache on the legs when going downhill will remind me of it- or even longer. My original plan was to real-time post along my journey, but the network connection at the mountain was very sporadic and unstable. The symbolic meaning of climbing to the summit of this particular mountain was less than my personal account on the overnight + under the rain hiking experience. I hope to compile something about it this week.

Reserved July 22nd to go to the summit of Mt. Fuji!

Added in my list of preparation is:

1- two fully charge mobile phones

2- contact group (named as ‘emergency’)

3- two messages saved in draft ready to be sent out, something like:

—> 1- “I made it”

—> 2- “Am dying in an accident! Love you!”

In case you’re wondering how -

I made the reservation through this company:

No idea about the service yet, though. Will report if I manage to send

out the message number one eventually.

Very empty. We only had two hours to do onsen before our bus left. Way too short!

Easier to spot fujisan. This reminded me of calling the moving company 100th times for my bike assembly before they go home without any action. I dont know if its their normal way of working, but it seems to take one day for them to exchange one question/answer at a time. I even asked them if i can just get the number of the bike shop so that i can arrange (and pay for) it myself, but they prefer me waiting till their tortoise slow communication chain with euroland is concluded.

Perhaps due to rain yesterday, clarity seems very high today. First time to see a peak that looks like mt. Fuji’s. Terrible picture, but worth record-keeping.
