Homemaker Akiko Ijitsu joined her friends for a hike up Gasing Hill in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, one Sunday and found out just how unfit she was. That was the first time she went hiking.
“My friends were doing well but I was struggling. Then, when they wanted to go onto the hanging bridge, I gave up and sat on a bench to wait for them,” recalls Ijitsu, a former magazine and catalogue editor in Japan, who first came to Malaysia as a tourist in 1993.
