Fuck Mount Fuji (also, Fuck Mt. Fuji)
Out of all the fucking glorious mountains in the world, why is Mt. Fuji so universally beloved? I can’t believe nobody’s ever written this before. So I reiterate: FUCK FUJIYAMA* Some people like mountain climbing; I like mountain hating. FUCK YOU FUJISAN, YOU STUPID DORMANT VOLCANO! Also, just to cover all bases: FRAK YOU, MT. FUJI!!! ///////////////////////// * For some reason, Thais call it Fujiyama. I hadn’t even heard this word until I came to Thailand, but wikipedia says, “Fuji-san is sometimes referred to as ‘Fujiyama’ in some Western texts, but this reading is not correct in standard Japanese.” ** This post was spurred by this comment.

I AM THE WALKING DOOD AGAIN TODAY
Just thought I’d amend my statement from the other day: NOBODY WALKS IN THAILAND –> THAIS GENERALLY AVOID WALKING AT ALL COST Because, obviously, I am in Thailand, and I am walking. Also, the only other guy I saw walking on my way home today was an illegal Shan. I usually walk home from my university’s (Rajabhat Mahasarakham University) campus through another university’s (Maha Sarakham University) secondary campus, and then down a four lane highway to the entrance of our community. People offer me rides all the time, even if they don’t know me. They stop to ask what’s wrong. As in, did my car break down or something? And…
