| Fantastic Four on Mt. Fuji |
At the beginning of October, we took an international student trip to Mt. Fuji! Obviously, Mt. Fuji is one of those places that every foreigner must go to while in Japan but sadly, it was a slightly disappointing trip. As beautiful as the mountain was, our school didn't stay very long at the mountain. It was a three hour drive from Dokkyo University to Mt. Fuji which was a scenic drive. Throughout the entire ride, each international student was paired up with a Japanese student to encourage us to use Japanese as much as possible. Luckily for me, I was seated next to a student who visited UWSP in the Dokkyo summer English program and I actually got to meet him so it wasn't as awkward for me as it was for the other students :) Once we got to Mt. Fuji, we hiked for a couple hours and then stopped to take a bunch of photos...and I mean a bunch of photos. My closest friends (Benny, Joe, and Sandra) and I have become a tight-nit group, so much so that we even call ourselves cute little names..like the Fantastic Four..Fabulous Four...Family of Four..and the list can go on.
