Unfortunately the time to say "bye-bye Japan" has come and it's been almost a month now since I left. So I won't have any more exciting things to post in the future. But since I still have a lot of unfiled pictures and quite a lot of time on my hands (since I don't have a job at the moment), I thought I would post some interesting pictures in retrospect. Duno if this makes a lot of sense, but here goes:
So my last trip before leaving Japan was to the majestic Fuji san. It was one of the things on my to do list while in Japan and since Fuji san defeated me almost 2 years back (basically I ran out of time and had to return to the bus before getting to the top), I though I'd tackle him again before leaving Japan. When I announced this to my friends some of them said they'd join me on my last journey before leaving.
Essentially there are two ways to climb Fuji san. One is to climb it during the day to see the sunset from the top and the other one's to climb Fuji san at night to get to the top for sunrise. We chose to start climbing Fuji san at 9pm to get to the top in time for sunrise.

Station 7
Since this was the last possible climbing date befor the end of the official climbing season, so there was a big crowd
Sunrise at around 5am
(Unfortunately I fell asleep, waiting for the sunrise to start, so missed some of it - this is a friend's picture)
After sunrise it took me about 2 hours to get to the top. Not because I am lame, but because of the crowds.

Finally at the top
