Well, I officially conquered Japan by climbing the 3,776 meters of Mount Fuji! Definitely a checkmark off my “To Do Life List”.

Our job was to scare the children, give them candy to win their hearts back, and in the long run they become stronger. Woah, huh! Highlights were photographers stalking us down (us being the foreigners dressed like we were), kids being so scared they go running in the opposite direction and their mothers have to run after them, and the party after at the restaurant. It was years of family , friends and stories. I was lucky to be invited. Again, a most memorable moment in this girls life!... read more
