Athletic Bilbao

One of the highlights of my trip to Bilbao was the football game I went to. It was a Europa league qualifier and the local club Athletic Bilbao played a Norwegian side called Tromso.

BILBAO

I recently went to Bilbao in Spain. It was a beautiful beautiful city. I even managed to get a ticket to a football game..

Bilbao is located in the north of Spain near the coast. I really didn't expect much before I got there and the only reason why I went was to visit a friend.

But it was a pleasant surprise when I got there. The city is absolutely gorgeous and had a mix of old and new. The people are all very nice and i didn't encounter any kind of racism or animosity of any kind.

TAKAYAMA 高山市

Takayama is one of the best place I have ever visited in Japan. Nestled in the mountains, it is known as Little Kyoto in the mountains. There are many minshuku and ryokan in the town and they serve delicious kaiseki style meals. The town is also very different from others in that the local government likes preserving it the way it is. So you will not see any Starbucks, McDonalds or 7/11 here. What you will find is small town charm and hospitality and lots of delicious local foods. These include Hida beef, and Hoba Miso.

Mt Fuji climb

Mt Fuji climb. Me and my friends scale Japan's most famous mountain on July 26th. It was a nice clear day. We saw really nice unkai and goraiko. We stayed at a hut at 3250m called Gansomuro. It was 9000 yen for two meals and a sleeping space.
We continued our climb around midnight and got to the summit for the sunrise (at 450am)
