of when I climbed Mount Fuji in 1972 with three japanese, one a man about ten years older than I, whom I asked permission to join at the bus stop (despairing of my ability to find the right way in the dark with all the signs in Japanese and no map), and the two others two pretty Japanese high-school girls who asked for permission to join us because they were lost. Since the man and one of the girls spoke excellent English they were very good company.

Re: that was coolThanks for the comment! It was a great trip, made especially memorable by doing it with my AFS brother. I highly recommend the trip!

Re: Reminds meIt sounds like you had a very nice trip and experience. Doing this hike with Ryoji made it particularly special for me...

Eating is the best!I hope you had a big bowl of ramen when you were done. I really liked Japan on my one visit and I will be back.
