Mark spent 10 days in the Philippines with Tokyo Best and Tsukuba Best Students. As you can see from the video below it was a deep time of bonding together with one another and the Filipino children. We were able to help a poverty stricken community to construct an outhouse style toilet.
It really is. Get away from the cities and into the mountains and Japan rivals the best of many places on earth. This is why I love hiking in Japan.
God did a wonderful job in creating this good land. What a powerful demonstration of His love and creativity. Enjoy.
I don’t mean to strengthen stereotypes but my aunt sent me this and I thought it was cute. Enjoy.
First time to camp in cold weather for the kids. Kayla’s first overnight trip with Dad. It was really nice. Next time we are looking forward to some snow so we can make a snow cave or something. Enjoy the video.
Now on our eighth year in Japan we sometimes forget the way Japan ‘feels’ to the newcomer. I think this is a real loss as Japan really is a unique and special place. I rediscoved this joy watching this video about a young guy who walks the length of Japan over a five month period. The amazing thing was this was his first time in Japan.
Recently having fallen in love with backpacking and already loving Japan, this video really struck a cord with me. I hope you enjoy it.
