  • And I'd come out to pretty much every spot that I'm visiting on this trip A couple months ago, but part way through, I ran into Yohei, living in his abandoned elementary school out.

  • That was amazing.

  • So it took up almost a full two days, and I had to shave off a lot of other stuff.

  • And so when I got asked if I wanted to come back to experience a bunch of stuff in the area, I jumped on that opportunity and e Yeah, Okay.

  • Oh, look at those views.

  • Heard about these Alexander pillars last time and get a chance to stop it.

  • Visit them.

  • So I've kind of hiked up a mountain a bit.
