I don’t get too many three-day weekends like this! Yesterday, I basically just rested at home. I was really thinking about climing Mt. Fuji, but I honestly don’t think I am up to it.
Now, I know what you are thinking…climb Mt. Fuji???? Are you insane??? But actually, it isn’t like that. It is more like walking up a steep trail. Not a dangerous climb. But still, weather conditions, altitude sickness, and your physical condition are essential factors. You need to prepare clothes and supplies, and you need to be well-rested. To be honest, I feel a bit tired. I don’t know…I think it might not be a good idea, even though I want to.
I also was thinking about taking a trip somewhere like Hiroshima, for example. If I take a bullet train (shinkansen), I could be there in about 5 hours. The ride is very comfortable, so I could take my iBook and a book and have a very pleasant trip.
But now, I am thinking maybe I will just stay home (as in, stay in Tokyo; not just sit in my room!) and have a lazy weekend. Maybe I should go to the park. Or I might just do a shorter trip. I have a lot of pictures to sort through, too….
Hmm, one of my friends is in Hong Kong this weekend…. 
(Anyway, it is a nice problem to have!!!)

Dude, you’re never well-rested. Climbing Fuji would have been insane.

Insane….? This coming from the person who wanted me to come back to Hong Kong to meet up, less than a week after I left?
You’re right..it would have been insane. That’s why I wanted to do it!
