Now why would three sane guys be making such strange faces?
The answer lies at the North West base of Mt.Fuji in Japan. Next weekend we are on a mission to provide details and create a small documentary about a mystical place that all Japanese people fear.
The area is called Jukai - the Sea of Trees. It's a fairly new name for the forest which is commonly known as Aokigahara Forest. The forest is 35 square kilometers of quietness, the trees are apparently so dense there that the wind hardly penetrates it's interior. The forest is also host to the world's 2nd most popular place to commit suicide. Stories are told of ghosts haunting, wild packs of dogs and pigs, compasses that go haywire and of people getting lost.
For the six of us, Craig from Australia, Carlos from Mexico, Tony from South Africa, brothers A.J. and Steve from Canada and Paul from England that will visit the area next week, each of us has a reason to find out some truths as to the aura, the mystery and sadness this place holds for the Japanese people.
Stay tuned for an update when we return from our adventure.
