Mount Fuji & Tokyo

A couple more points to add to my observations.

1) 99% of girls wear boots, with tiny high heels, and they wear it everywhere, even traveling on rough terrain (ex: walking up steep cobble stone stairs up to temples, etc.)
2) Japanese love to eat eggs, you can see it on all the menus.

Saturday was the first time I`ve been on a bike in years. We went on a bike trip around the Mount Fuji area. It was exhausting, especially the uphill portion. But the descend was an adrenaline rush (felt like skiing). The route we took was around the lake and the scenery is spectacular. After half a day of cycling, we went to a hot spring to relax. It felt so good afterwards, all the muscle pain from an entire week of backpacking are gone. When I got home I dropped like a rock and didn`t wake up till 10:30 the next morning.

Today I went to Daiba and checked out a huge Toyota showroom. There`s a test track where you can test drive their cars and a giant vending machine like structure where you press a button and a car will appear in front of you. Oh yeh, went to an arcade.....one word to describe it, huge!

That`s it for now.
