FUJI-EXTRA

Imagine you are climbing Fuji in the middle of the night. Your exhausted and only about halfway up the mountain. You’re unsure if you will ever make it to the top. You stop at a shelter and buy a can of oxygen because the air is getting thin and the exercise is leaving you breathless. You take a few deep breaths of oxygen.

Then you light a cigarette and have a smoke break.

WHAT???
Who would think that is a good idea? Middle aged Japanese Men. That’s who.

Every time I think about it I am still in disbelief by how many people I saw smoking cigarettes on the mountain. Some, its true, were workers at the rest station. However, I did see more than a few hikers on a smoke break.

It just doesn’t make any sense.


Also, have a video of the sunrise taken and narrated beautifully by Sophie.
