我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When I lived in Finland, I enjoyed the Northern Ligths (Aurora Borealis) and being able to cross, on foot, a frozen creek or lake. I also had good moments doing sauna and winter swimming. :-)

Once I jumped from a moving train (in Portugal), I also snorkeled in Thailand and I had 4 years of crazy daily commuting in Tokyo's metro.
