The next day, our friend Eri joined our group. Greg and I had been planning to hike one of the mountains in Daisetzuan National park, and Eri voiced that she would like to come along. Her English is really good, she has a great sense of humour, and she’s really pretty, so we couldn’t say no. It was nice to have a girl presence in the car. All three of us really got along and seemed to really enjoy one another’s company. We ended up climbing the mountain that afternoon, and were the last ones to the top, but the view was amazing!!! It has already snowed a bit on some of the other mountaintops, which really added to the scene. It actually reminded me of the arctic, being up there. Later that evening, we drove to the nicest camping site that I’ve ever seen. People were paying 4000 yen (around 40ish dollars) a night, yet we ended up sneaking into the cheaper site (did I mention that we are all really cheap?). The next morning, we drove to Asahikawa, the second largest city in Hokkaido, where we met up with Eri’s identical twin sister for dinner, before going home the next day. All in all, this Silver Week has been the best Silver Week I’ve ever had.
