The equipment keeps only together with "good will". Most things are "used up" and are going to end in smoke, above all the shoes and the clothes which have been washed too often but however not well enough. The new sleeping-bag bought in Shizuoka has become meanwhile the old one and I'm nearly glued to it, it's really lovely. The kilometres are troubling me
and some of the spare parts are already squeaking, but
except for the pads everything still works.
Well, due to "careful" drivers, or better say zombies, both walking sticks have lost their life only 15 cm beside my knees. Of course, nobody has stopped, because this is still not on
the plan, even after 1,000 km. After all, nobody has been walking in Japan during the past 80 years and therefore they don't need to adapt the programme. Oh yes, and for all who
are planning to visit Japan: Never use a crosswalk if you want to stay alive. Actually, you will find some, but nobody knows
the meaning as the Japanese have just copied it. Nobody will stop and you are simply knocked down as a matter of fact. If you want to cross the road, please do it somewhere and everybody will stop. Anyway, everything is all right (more or less). It still rains too much, but spring has definitely arrived.
