Huynem Unplugged Vol. 8 - THE BUCKET LIST: 70 Things I Want to Do Before I Die" went on sale on September 21. The editorial staff is very happy to hear that the book has been well received.
In the midst of all this, I saw some people on social media saying that they were interested in the book but could not find it at their local bookstore. Of course, you can also purchase the book online. But, I think people want to browse through the book before they buy it.
Therefore, we would like to show you a small part of the magazine and the behind-the-scenes journal of its production in this column. We are doing something similar on the Huinamu Twitter account, but we thought we would reiterate it.
The theme of this 8th issue of "Finam Unplugged" is "What I want to do before I die. In English, it is called a BUCKET LIST. The reason why it is called so isthis way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)for more information.
Some people want to go to an undiscovered, unexplored region, taste the best fatty foods in the world, or do something a little silly, and so on. This time, we have collected 70 such bucket lists. Among them, we would like to share with you a series of articles that we put a lot of effort into.

Backpacking trip in India.
India was a backpacker's dream destination and the final stop on the hippie trail. Everyone who has traveled there says, "Something always changes when you go there.
He believes that by coming into contact with various religions and cultures, he will encounter a new person, and that his existing values will change. What would a man in his late 30s feel and think in India? With high expectations and a little anxiety in my heart, I headed off on a 10-day trip to 4 cities in India with only a 45-liter backpack.
In Delhi, we dared to do a fashion shoot. Assuming backpackers touring the streets of Delhi, we photographed them in different situations. The coordinator told us that until now there has been no precedent for fashion shoots with models in India for various reasons, such as lack of customs clearance and strict shooting in the city center.
Indeed, prior to the business trip, we had to do a lot of advance preparation, such as submitting documents to customs, applying for the photo shoot, arranging models, and so on. It was worth the effort. This is also a commemorative page of the first of its kind in the industry.
Jaipur's cityscape is simply beautiful. The old town, or "Pink City," where all the buildings are pink, looks as if it had wandered into the world of a Ghibli movie. The Palace of the Winds was a sight to behold.
Jaipur is an elephant cab at the foot of the Anberu Castle. Riding on this elephant, you will tour the sprawling castle, swaying and swaying. The fare, including tip, is about 1,700 Japanese yen. It's a small price to pay to feel like an aristocrat, isn't it?
The last stop on our trip was Varanasi. Known as the sacred city for Hindus, this city had a solemn atmosphere that was clearly different from other cities. The Ganges River, where human life and death intersect, was a moving sight when I saw it for the first time.
In Varanasi, we visited a silk factory. In India, one of the pride of a person is how many silk products he or she has made in Varanasi. So we bought a silk stole as a commemorative gift. It was well received in Japan!
Cake Di Lassi, the most reputed lassi store in Delhi. The sweetness of the strawberry sauce and pistachio topping is just right for the hot Indian weather! It was the best lassi I have ever had!

Climbing Everest.
If you are Japanese, you must have at least once wanted to climb Mt. However, since that is a bit conventional for a bucket list, we headed for the world's highest mountain, Mount Everest!
Everest is the dream of every mountaineering enthusiast. In the past, numerous climbing teams have been defeated, but these days, even ordinary people can reach the summit by taking advantage of a public mountaineering program. Of course, it is not a simple task, but it is too early to say that it is impossible! It is too early to give up. However, it is difficult to reach the summit, so this time we made a round trip to the base camp at 5,205 meters above sea level.
The editorial team headed for Nakata, who is confident in his physical fitness, having worked up a sweat playing basketball as a student and currently running as well. However, he had no experience in mountain climbing. If he can climb, it must mean that anyone can do it. Here is what the trip looked like behind the scenes.
On the third day of our visit, we finally arrived at Namche Bazaar (3,440 meters), the largest town on the Everest Road, after walking for about 10 hours. From Japanese restaurants to bars and ATMs, it is truly a paradise. I could have made Namche part of my travel route!
On the eighth day, we finally arrived at Everest Base Camp (5,205 meters), and the hard trek of walking 10 steps and taking a 5-minute break was well worth it.
On the 10th day of the trip, I felt lighthearted on the way home! This is a shot of Gregory's "Baltoro 60," my partner on this trip, with the last suspension bridge on the outward journey, commonly known as Namche Bridge, in the background. I can carry it on my back like a pro!
So, Nakata, an amateur climber, completed the round trip to the base camp and back without incident! Although it was the rainy season when we covered the trip, we were blessed with fine weather for several days during our stay, which made for a very fruitful interview. We believe that the contents of this report, including the realistic text, are very practical.

Crossing the United States!
The next project is "Crossing the United States. As we announced briefly, it is easier said than done. In a different sense from climbing Mt. Everest, this is a popular bucket list that many people would like to try if they could do it.
It doesn't feel like "Route 66" now, so this trip follows an updated route for 2018. Starting in New York City on the East Coast and ending in Los Angeles on the West Coast. The mode of transportation was Greyhound buses, which are inexpensive long-distance buses that even the locals tend to shy away from. The reason why they avoid it is because the area around the bus stop is not safe and there are naughty-looking people on the bus.
But traveling in a bus, which is a small space, and over a long distance, you are undeniably in touch with the personal side of Americans. In that respect, it is a very good vehicle.
In this magazine, we focus on hip cities and describe what it is like to cross the country, but the things that thrill us while crossing the United States are not famous tourist spots or trendy boutiques, but the everyday scenery that is common to Americans, but special to tourists.
Santa Fe, New Mexico is one of the most unique cities in the United States. What makes Santa Fe so different from other cities is that it is dotted with adobe buildings made of sun-dried bricks. These buildings are so beautiful that they have been called "American gems.
The means of transportation between cities is the Greyhound bus, which runs like a net through the United States. When I was waiting for that bus in New York City, I looked around and saw no women. It was earthy, as I had heard rumors, or it smelled like trouble. An uplifting scene in many ways.
IN-N-OUT BURGER is a chain restaurant that serves the best burgers. If you are wondering where to eat in California, this is the place to go. The uniforms and decor are great.
The 16-page booklet summarizes the journey over a period of about two weeks. By the end of the book, you will want to "cross" the U.S., whether you go by Greyhound or not.

He lives in Christiania.
Lastly, we would like to show you a glimpse of what we have covered in Copenhagen, Denmark.
First of all, who said that the page focuses on the miraculous borough of Christiania? You can check several articles about Christiania on the web these days, so let's start withThis pagePlease prepare yourself with the following information.
Christiania" is known for being difficult to cover in magazines, but this time we were able to see and hear a lot of things as we had a firm grasp of the key people.
And since I was in Copenhagen, I decided to try a restaurant called "Nordic Cuisine," which is the spearhead of the "Nordic Cuisine" trend that is sweeping the world these days.kadeauWe also contacted the "Mere Old Man.
A furniture store? No, it is not. It is a "kadeau" store. It is the home of "kadeau," so it is only natural that there is a lot of Scandinavian furniture here and there.
Incidentally, a Japanese chef who trained at "kadeau" opened a restaurant in Japan called "Kabi".
What is a new dining experience? Restaurant Kabi updates Japanese cuisine.
