Herro!

Went to Kyoto the day before yesterday and mitsu somethingorratehr yesterday

Did a walk through some torri at tokyo which are these big orange archway things. They let up to heaps and heaps of shrines and through a little forest. It was a nice walk. At the end we went to some temple thing and it was very large. The shrines are pretty cool. There were lots of people there. I had a good day. I think other people did too.

Yesterday Jeff and I climbed mitsu something or rather mountain which is near Mt Fuji - had some great views of Mt Fuji. The walk was a little harder than expected due to some snow and making the wrong turn after half way which substantially increased walking distance :/. All in all however it was good to climb to the top. My butt muscles are well worked out - a consistant 2 hour descent up to 1700M will do that. I havn`t freaked out from heights in a long time, but there was a part where you had about a 20cm wide area to put your foot, and if you slipped all you had was a flimsy rope made side gate (i.e nothing) to save you before falling down the mountain. I freaked out a little. But then I went and it was all ok. In true japanese style there was a beer vending machine at the top of the mountain. There was also a MASSIVE dog. For a second I thought it was a bear. But I don:t think there are any polar bears that sort of look like a dog in japan. Maybe this is the only one. There were lots of nice things to look at but I was too lazy to drag my camera along with me. That was probably for the best.

Speaking of vending machines - jeff and I tried out hot chips from a vending machine last night. Guey and all stuck together, but they definately tasted like chips.

Last sunday afternoon we went to yoyogi park to check out the crazy people. There weren:t any crazy people really, but I did get an awesome engrish jacket. I am so proud of it but don:t know where I will be able to wear it because it is hideously offensive. I had to get it though otherwise I would regret it for the rest of my life. AND it was on sale!!!!

Today we are going to go to yokohama. There is a curry museum. Jeff and hugh are excited! I think. actually everyone is still asleep except for me. Whoops! I fell asleep before everyone though so I had an excuse.
