After having returned to the apartment where they'd left the tent and sleeping bags, Doron Klemer (27) of Oita City and Martin Brix (25) of Taketa City cracked out their thumbs to inaugurate this year's charity hitchhiking event.
A fortuitous encounter with an old flame meant the first of many challenges, Beppu's Takasakiyama, was spent in good company, and our intrepid anthropologist Martin learned a new monkey maxim; besides not looking a monkey in the eye, never get between them and feeding time either.
