Don't be a Foo', G Part II

So, due to me being exhausted, I made a mistake and accidentally deleted the second half of my Fuji adventure. Here's an abridged version because I'm lazy! TBA-chan and I began our descent down the mountain. Once we reached what we thought was the base of the mountain, we asked a Japanese man and his son how to get to the 5th station. Both men looked at each other and told us we had made a rather large miscalculation and veered off course...to the other side of the mountain. Not only were we on the other side of the mountain, we were in another PREFECTURE! TBA-chan was surprised, but I had an inkling...afterall this type of thing happens to me all the time. They informed us where a phone was further down the mountain, and TBA-chan and I hurried to get there. We were on a time limit because our bus back to Shinjuku left at noon. However, about five minutes later, one of the men we spoke with caught up with us and told us that he and his father were willing to drive us to the 5th station. TBA chan and I were worried, not so much because of getting into a random stranger's car, as much as the social debt that accepting this offer would put us in (only in Japan). But we graciously accepted, and were reassured that it wasn't far, and that it was no bother. Flash forward and hour and a half later, and we finally reached the 5th staiton. TBA-chan and I were amazingly grateful that these kind people would essentially change their days plans to help two strangers, let alone two foreigners. TBA-chan and I bowed deeply as the car left after having given them our e-mail addresses (TBA-chan's very smart idea since it was hard to figure out a good means of repayment). We made it in time, reunited with Eee-chan and Valley-chan and were soon on our way home; battered, bruised, exhausted but satisfied.

I would like to dedicate these Fuji posts to those wo men who helped us that day. All people should strive to emulate the kindness that these people showed to us that day.

Word of the day is Shinsetsu. This word is an adjective and means nice. Usage: futari otokonohito wa shinsetsu desu. English: The two men are very nice.
