Well, I am now an official mountain hiking guide. I am so excited about this. I can't believe I got this job. This isn't something a normal foreigner in Japan does. I'm like super foreigner or something. My first assignment is June 18th and 19th. I'll be heading off to Mt. Nyukasa (1955 m. 6412 ft.) in Nagano prefecture on an over night trip. I guess if on a clear day you can see Mt. Fuji from the top of nyukasa. You can check out some picture of the mountain at

I've been checking out this singer Patrick Park lately. I got wind of him from my good buddy "Clio" Jeff. Its pretty good stuff.
