Project 29: Getting Started

This blog is about two 29-year-olds who set out to challenge something they would otherwise never even think about, to commemorate the last year in their twenties.


Hello everyone, we are Ace and Hero, two friends from high school who have, after several drinking/brainstorming sessions, decided to pay a visit to 29 lakes in Japan — on kick-scooters.


Time limit is when Ace turns 30, which will be in mid-November.
A bit of a slow start, I know, but we hope to make it to 29 lakes.


We don't know which lakes to go ride our kick-scooters, but one thing is certain: Lake Biwa, Japan's largest lake, will most definitely be our 29th triumph.


We will start our 6-month adventure next week, from a few lakes in Tokyo.


Oh by the way, it's not that we're going to the lakes on our kick scooters, that'd be more of a recklessness than a fun adventure. Plus, Hero has never tried the kick scooter before.
What we're trying to do is to feel the breeze in our hair riding our kick scooters around the lake we conquered. We go, we ride, and we come back satisfied.


What's the point? I know, right? Tell me about it.
But we didn't make a flag and a mini flag for nothing.
And Hero didn't buy a brand-new kick scooter just for the show.


So here we go, Project 29 in action!!
