Mt. Fuji and an I.V. drip
We have been dead sick for the last few days. Horrible sore throats. We
experienced the Japanese medical system, and Trevor got an IV drip of antibiotics and nutrients for his sore throat!
We went to Mt. Fuji last week, which was super cool, but very touristy as it was the first day of climbing season. There's a vending machine at the summit. Weird, depressing, yet strangely Japanese.
We ate at the Horikawas' friend's restaurant, and had fat homemade gyoza and plenty of cold beer. Yum.
Friday we move to Kunitachi, near Tokyo, for a month. Trevor's job at Kichijoji fell through, but we didn't want to lose our 60,000 yen deposit ($600) so we're going to get out of the Horikawas' hair and chill in the city for a awhile. Trevor should be able to train in his martial art a lot, and we can check out all of Tokyo's glory. It's summer festival season, so Ammie is excited about checking out the parades, hanabi (fireworks) and traditional dancing.
We really have no idea how our internet access will go after we move to Kunitachi, but
we'll try to keep y'all informed as much as possible.
In the meantime, Trevor will be checking out Chiba Berlitz to see how it goes. We're not sweating it -- if things fall into place, cool, if not, we'll have a great 3 month honeymoon in a beautiful country.
