One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not the most amazing, but the most unexpected was an impromptu drunken indoor snowboarding session in Hiroshima, Japan. Didn't expect to find an indoor slope in the city, let alone at 10 pm at night. Spent a couple of hours riding rails and dropping off a box, then back up on a conveyor belt.
