OK, quick entry cuz im outta 100 yen coins.
Made it into Sendai just now after a 5hr train ride on the local trains. phew!
Yesterday i attempted a little hike while in Nikko. Theres this mountain which erupted and made a lake and a waterfall. Anyways, i looked at the map and it said 2400...2400 ft i figured, not bad...ill do it.
3 hrs later and panting for breath, i asked a dude, how much further to the top? 3 mins i heard him say....so i go...hmm..ok. 15 mins later i ask another dude...1 hr..very difficult he says (btw still typing on a japanese keyboard which precludes proper punctuation at times while im trying to churn this out)
sooo..i hit the abort button and came back down. it was a pretty arduous climb up, it not having a proper trail for the middle 2/3 that i made up. Anyways, as i was going down, it dawned on me that the japan, like the rest of the world except the states, uses the metric system and thus the maps was in meters, not ft. woops.
ok, of to shower.
btw, i tried the bath thing again. quite nice the second time around without having a gay guy asking me to :face me so i can hear you better:.
