Fuji-san
People at work say that on a clear day, we can see Fuji-san (Mt. Fuji) from our building. One early morning right before Japanese class at work, I walked over to the window to do my usual daydreaming. It look small, but I actually managed to see Fuji-san from our building. I quickly jolted back to my desk to grab my camera to grab a picture. You can barely see it but I think it looks good. It's the tiny tiny white crest above all the trees....
I told my teacher about Fuji-san and she was happy I got a chance to see it. But she injected some reality when I told her I was planning on going with some friends in January. She explained to me that it's really pretty from far away, but when you get up close, it's not really worth the trip. She was saying how it's just rocks and tree stumps. A little bit sad to hear that, but her explanation reminded me of beer goggles when clubbing.
At least now, I'll will know what to expect when I go.

Hahah... beer goggles... you know, I wouldn't have necessarily thought of that. Then maybe the alternative is to find a good scenic spot to get great pictures of it from a distance?
Oo, btw, I was talking to my friend who spent a summer studying in Seoul and he's gonna email me some must see places in Korea! =D
LOL!! I see the teeny tiny white mtn! NICE!! Maybe we can put fuji mtn as a lower-priority sight... unless there's some extreme hiking. hahahha!!
I am so jealous you guys are going to Korea!
=) ting
yeah, but what's fun about hiking up a mountain is not looking at the mountain itself, but to get a sense of achievement and to have a great view. Every mountain is just a bunch of rocks and tree stumps when you're hiking it.
Hmm...are you sure that's a mountain? I think it's a cloud...or a big cream puff...a beard papa cream puff...mmmm...
Your teacher is probably right about Mt Fui ---- not impressive up close....see for yourself -
