That stupid printer
I passed this every night I'd leave the bar for years. Nobody knew who put it here, but everyone agreed to just leave it.
Some snake alcohol
I've never been more messed up in my life than I was after drinking this.
A striking red
The colors in this pop out to me in a cool way.
A local neighborhood festival
Food, festivities, etc. A great time!
Descending Mt. Fuji
This was thankfully less stressful. A selfie to commemorate the journey.
Exhaustion
We struggle up Mt. Fuji in a lightning storm, only to be told we need to descend immediately as the conditions were getting too dangerous. We were given 5 minutes to eat something and then told we needed to get a move on. Luckily, going down was easier than going up...
Finally reaching the top
We had the adventure - or misfortune - of climbing Mt. Fuji at night, in a lightning storm. The final torii gate at the top here was an eerie - but welcome - sight!
My office location... on an old map!
When we first moved to Shin-Nakano, we went to a neighborhood bar and had a few drinks. I noticed the map in the back was actually a historical map from shortly after WW2, which was given out to GIs after they were occupying Tokyo. The map included driving instructions for day trips, and street names in English. Our office was in Kyobashi then, so it was just interesting to see it on a historical map. My girlfriend actually managed to track down a copy for me, super interesting bit of history.
