nah... probly shouldve brought one.
currently in hiroshima, pretty vibrant city with groovy web cafe playing jazz music. Also went up mt fuji.. altho the bus timetable is pretty lame dont believe the doomsayers... you can easily make it up and down in time to make the last bus as long as you are in reasonable physical shape. I was warned to take my own water up with with me, as it is expensive and no streams, as it happened it rained constantly and the water destroyed my phrasebook which is a bit of a problem really.
Oh... NEVER go to the kawaguchiko youth hostel. The beds are reasonably comfy but thats the only good thing i can say about the place.... you are pressurised into taking a shower when you arrive (and in fact cannot take one any other time apparently so its worth doing so) doors are locked at a paltry 9pm, midges seem to sneak in (i apparently have a big sign over my head which says EAT ME in insect language), the old geezer manager pops in to spy on you at 5am and you get woken up with a blast of classical music at 6.45, you not only must leave at 9 but from 8.40ish onwards you get near constant evil stares till you leave... Anyway nice fun rant over. just dont go there ok??
