Super hot summer!

2007年8月14日 (火)

Last week I climbed Mt Fuji with my parents. This wasn’t my first time to climb Mt Fuji, so it wasn’t very exciting for me. But my parents enjoyed the climb. We started at 9:30 in the morning and reached the top by about 16:00. Going down was much harder though. I didn’t have very good shoes. We reached the 5th station where our car was at about 18:30. It was a nice day but I forgot to put on sun screen and burnt my face completely. I guess the high altitude and the thin air made the sunbeams stronger. Now I’m peeling skin off my face every day. I was hoping to come back to a cool Sapporo summer but this week has been crazy hot too! Even hotter than Tokyo last week! Have a nice Obon vacation and don’t forget to put on sun block this summer!!
