What do you tell a Japanese butterfly who you want to stay still and not move?

"Chyo chyo matte kudasai"

And it goes up next to this road

它緊挨著這條路

It's a drop-off on one side and the other side is a big drop-off down to all kinds of sports fields.

Now this part really messed me up last time

But in order to get up there you have to cross here, go over there, and then go up.

但是為了上去，你必須穿過這裡，到那邊去，然後再上去。

But according to this sign, I thought "Oh 3.2 km that way?"

但根據這個標誌，我想 "哦，那邊3.2公里？"

Oh man. At least they have this one right here to make it much more clear what you're supposed to do.

哦，夥計。至少他們有這個就在這裡，讓你更清楚地知道你應該做什麼。

So I learned something watching some of the hikers that I like to watch on YouTube.

It's called "Cameling up"

這就是所謂的 "駝背"。

And basically what you do is instead of carrying your water on your back

You drink a lot of it and carry it in your stomach.

你喝了很多，並把它帶進你的肚子裡。

And then it's lighter on your shoulders, and it's easier to carry.

That's the first time I've seen a snake I think in Japan just out in the wild

It's not even the wild.

This part right here feels a little strange because it's like you're walking up somebody's driveway.

A little stop at the 7-11 for an onigiri and a drink
