Well I climbed Mt. Fuji a couple of days ago .... It's taken my body two days to recover. I got incredibly sick and my god it was one of the worst things I've ever done in my life. Honestly though, it was totally worth it. I pushed my body to it's maximum limit and did the number one thing that I wanted to do on my list of stuff to do when I get to Japan. For Reference:
-Climb Mount Fuji X
-Fly out to Korea and Okinawa (Traveling in General) X
-Participate in Kyudo Present Jovon comment: Couldn't get in :/
-Sample every type of food that I can Present Jovon comment: Basically impossible to do
-Go to Festivals (Like the Sapporo snow festival) Present Jovon comment: Sad it was too expensive to go to at the time, hopefully I can go back at some point in my life
-Attend a Kabuki production Present Jovon comment: Never found the time, sadly
-Go to Akihabara and its game centers X
-Participate in a school festival X
-Wear a Yukata Present Jovon comment: Needed one tailored, I'm a big guy
-Relax at an Onsen Present Jovon comment: Again, never found the time but hoping to try them in Hokkaido if I ever go back!
As you can see, there are a lot of things that I didn't get to do because of time constraints and technicalities, but I'm happy with my time here. I'll cherish what it as it was and better prepare myself for when I come back. Even though I'm flying home with barely any money in my pocket, I now know what I have to do when I come back again and have tons of stories to share. Thanks for everything Japan, it's been fun!
