Brandon Whitman here, a sophomore from Dundee, Michigan. We're a long way from the States here in Japan, but we're having a great time as a team, growing closer and enjoying the camaraderie. Yesterday, we went on a hike and reached the summit to see an amazing view of Mount Fuji. A group of us made it to the top and got some incredible pictures. (GoHeels.com)
