Fuji-san!!
Well i caught about 7 trains today but ive ended up in Kawaguchi-ko, which is one of the lakes at the bottom of Mount Fuji. (no not really IN the lake but just next to it obviously).And ive asked the information office about climbing old Fuji-san and theyve handed me a piece of paper saying "WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CLIMBING MT. FUJI OUT OF SEASON!" ....
Out of season?? .. what like it hasnt ripened yet?.. hmm.. those stubborn bastards.
But to tell you the truth it does look pretty hard... the top half is covered in snow, and it gets to about nearly 45 degrees (incline) at the top, and apparently 0 or less degrees (temperature.) But then again, I do have the right gear...
I mite go up to one of the stations part of the way up the hill 2moro on the bus and check it out. And tonite I think ill go to an "American Pub" in town and ask some of the folk in there if its possible/ impossible/crazy to climb it now...
I mean the lonely planet guide book says you can climb it anytime of year, its just that the japanese "like to do things right" meaning not climb it if its not summer...
Ill keep you posted on my climb, and dont worry Mum, i wont go up if its too much of a dangerous thing..
-cya later..

That sounds way cool. I wish I was with you. Instead i'm sitting on my computer and have consumed all of my humpty dumpty today. I feel sick. Fully sick
*mum voice* Be SAFE Glenn!
Hi Glenn,
It sounds good and I'm sure you won't do it if it's too dangerous/cold/snowy etc. You have got thermals and ski gear. Got your postcard on Friday, thanks.
And thanks Dave for the extra 'mum voice',
Love mum XOXO
Sorry Margaret, I'm going against the mum voice. CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN! CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN! CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN! You'll be fine. Just wear a warm jumper, the snow might be cold. Thanks for the postcard. It has a picture on it of a mountain covered in snow (i think its mount fuji), and you know what i think, i think it looks like an easy climb. Give it a go. It looks like it will be fun to ski down.
Todays transation
We do not nominate the fact that it rises to mount Fuji from season.
= we do not recommend climbing mount fuji out of season.
Damn I want to be rich like Scott! He even has a photo when he posts! Very professional. And nice to see he is interested in Glenn's travels. You rock glenn.
Why did Sara get a postcard before me?
My address is 110 Waterview St, Mona Vale, 2103.
Anyone feel free to send postcards, especially Glenn.
If you buy lots of presents you can just post them by sea mail to us. I would like a pretty japanese tea pot with matching green tea cups.
Don't send any presents to Scott A. Edwards, he is so rich he can buy his own.
Who is this scott guy?
he seems like a bit of a dickhead..
