Seiritsu International Education

Hey! Fraser here, back from summer break and blogging in for this month and letting you all know what I did this summer. As you may assume I had a very enjoyable summer break. I visited many areas of the Kanto, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Shizuoka areas. I also climbed to the peak of Mt. Fuji which was a very difficult, enduring experience. Lastly my mom came to visit me in Japan which was a very nice surprise.

I learned lots about Japan while going to the surrounding prefectures around the Kanto area and had so much fun doing so. I visited more places then I have ever before and learned more about the train system in the different prefectures. While checking out new places I went to many festivals going on throughout the summer holidays which was a great cultural experience.

Now climbing Mt. Fuji was a great experience and I was so lucky to have been there on great weather. Though I did get burnt very badly but besides that the climb was great. However I have no intention of climbing it again. Its one of those things you do once for the experience but otherwise it is not something you would want to do more then once. The view on Mt.Fuji had a very extensive view of all the surrounding prefectures which was very nice to look at. Though the best part was half way up the mountain just at the break of dawn we saw the shadow the mountain gleaming against the sky as the sun rose.

Then my mom visiting me was absolutely awesome since I didn't go home for Summer holidays. It was a great opportunity to catch up on lost time. We had a ceremony for my Grand-father who had passed away which was a great chance to see most of my family in Japan. We also went to a lot of incredible places in Tokyo I didn't think existed so even so I had more of a cultural experience in the Tokyo area.

This Summer was very well the best summer I have ever had, and I intend to make next year a more extensive summer break!
