Yeah!! We have overcomed the comforts of Singapore and made our way to Japan! Bjorn and I are sitting here, in the centre house of Fuji Eco Park. Just outside our door, is the spectacular Mount Fuji. The weather has been shit and rainy and grey, so we havent gotten a full view yet, but we have the next 10 days for the great mountain to show.
We've actually been in Japan for 6 days already. Holidaying luxuriously with the in laws in downtown Tokyo, and hanging out with our friend dakai every evening at random Izakaya places downing sakes. Tokyo's buzz is mad! From the high tech toilets, the super fantastic service, efficient train systems and crazy television shows. We had a fab time, and were honestly, a little scared at this stretch of our trip where we know some comforts will be taken away from us. But to our delight, this place is no ghetto. Comfortable futons to sleep on, spare wellington boots for us and hot water.
Have gotten to know some fellow wwoofers here... all of which I will describe in time as I get to know them.... but on day one, it was fantastic helping out in the kitchen. I learnt to make garlic soya sauce, japanese cabbage pancake, and rice balls (the triangle shaped ones). Delightful! I just know thta we will take out more than what we will imagine out of this experience. Already, cooking and helping with our fellow japanese wwoofers is something beautiful, something money cant buy.
Its almost 11pm now, and its pitch dark outside except for the almost full moon, and we're going to hit the sack. Nitzzz.......

For now, I'll leave you with a photo of the Fuji eco park. Thats the centre house where we cook, eat, wash, pee, poo, talk, read, chat, and watch the gorgeous mountain ahead.
