Nagoya
Last Tuesday was a holiday called "culture day". Incidentally Miya had the day off. Also incidentally, her friend had spent the night the night before after we ate dinner and drank fer a while. So Miya and I made the mistake of deciding to drive to Nagoya. We had no plan and no maps. The way there was quite beautiful, which saved the trip from being purely a waste of gas. We also went to a zoo, which had probably the most interesting monkey I've ever seen. Outside of monkeys and scenery, the trip didn't do much for us. We got extremely lost on the way back, which was a bummer. By the way, it was as cold as ice-- literally. We saw snow on the way there, and although it wasn't snowing/raining on the way back we were at a solid -8 degrees celcius (16 degrees F). That's a blast when you're not wearing winter clothes. So here's a glimpse of the good part of our trip.
Fall colors mixed with snow... it looked like powdered sugar.
Like every good Japanese tourist, I had my tripod with me. This was my first experience of feeling "hi-tech". It was a blast.
I liked how the male was wantin' t'make whoopy and the other one's hand suggests "you come closer and Imma punch you in the bitch".
You booze you snooze...
I'm not sure which is better, the one above this, or the one below this.
Imagine the possiblities of having a trunk like that... you could grab apples from trees or strangle someone from like 5 feet away.
Having been to numerous zoos in the land of the far east, also known as "Japan", I can say that this zoo was quite mediocre and was more of a tourist trap for little kids than a serious "put-on-your-hard-hat" zoo. However, that monkey was truly the bomb, and it would be generous of the zoo to let it ride the elephant as a form of refunding my 6 dollars.
