Mt. Fuji is surprisingly close to Tokyo. You can see it from tall skyscrapers in There quite easily. If you jump on the bullet train, it only takes about an hour to get to a few villages that are very nearby. I would not recommend walking to the top of Mt. Fuji though. It is a popular thing to do there, especially to make the ascent just before sunrise. It's not that hard to do, really, because the slope is gentle. There are also little food stalls to get dumplings and other goodies along the way! So Japan! But the way down is harder because there is a lot of loose rock and stuff that makes it a bit slippery and treacherous. Those nearby villages are much better to explore and take in some of the culture. Mt. Fuji, Tokyo
I didn't see a male lion until my fourth trip to Africa! I don't know why, but I kind of thought these guys would be all over the place. They're not endangered or anything, but they are quite elusive. Male lions are not as elusive as leopards or wild dogs, but they are quite hard to find.

It turns out that male lions are hard to find because they basically sleep most of the day in tall grass, do nothing to help the kids, and, when they're not being lazy, they are thinking about being lazy. We came across a few males... and one took a break from his laziness to climb on top of this log to appear to be rather majestic. Read more: https://www.StuckInCustoms.com
I remember at the time I took this that I almost DIDN'T take it. The colors seemed muted, it was quite steamy/foggy/moody, and also, I was quite tired. Maybe I was feeling a bit melancholy or something. Anyway, for whatever reason, I took it. And then, when processing, I recalled the melancholy mood and decided to give it a nudge in that direction. - Trey Ratcliff Click here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
