I climbed Mount Fuji once more than ten years ago. It was a great experience and I highly recommend to try it once. But maybe once is enough. The view of the sunrise from the peak is absolutely breathtaking!!! It is a MUST DO once in your life if you are Japanese I think. On the negative side, on the way down, the scenery really isn`t so special, the bathrooms are really smelly(=they stink!). On the way up, the price of a "stamp" gets more expensive at each stage, and also it is very crowded and sometimes actually have to wait in line, and it is VERY cold. But to be honest the positives outweight the negatives! So try it some time if you can!
Did you hear about the big rice scandal? In Japanese it is translated into "Accident Rice," but I think it should be translated to "Incident Rice."
This is an article about it if you want to read: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/mail/ed20080922a2.html
Tomorrow is a national holiday in Japan, the Autumn Equinox Day. I don`t really know what that means, but what I do no, is that many people are off, so hope every enjoys!
