There is one challenge that I have set myself for today. It is to jump in the Hida river, which passes near my house. It has been almost an year since I came to live in this place of Japan. There is no sea near here, but there are mountains and a river. I go jogging in the mountains every morning and breathe their fresh air. However, I always wanted to try to swim in the river, too. I have been watching it from outside and it looks kind of dirty, at least near the town, in which I live. But I know that going upstream it isn't that bad. So this is what I will do today! I am going upstream and I will find a nice cliff and jump into the river. Yes, yes, yes! I will let you know how it was tomorrow!
