Firstly Bari is not Bali in Indonesia- it is about walking through the mountains off the track, going through the thick vegetation, sliding down hills, climbing up or going down cliffs, not in your state of the art mountain gears but in a cheap worker’s outfits you might buy from the local hardware shop. The setting that it is the workmates that he goes hiking with - and it is one of the workers who does not conform to the work place pressure who is the expert Bari climber - makes this really a story that resonates. It brings the non-everyday experience at the mountain somehow into the everyday life of Japanese work place culture. The descriptions of the hiking experience off the track was really vivid and stayed with me.
