So...it has been a few days since I posted, probably because I have been busy eating gyoza, napping and reading. Japan is awesome sometimes. So I went to a park just down the road from my house and I took a few pictures. It is weird being the only white person, alone in a park. Kinda makes me feel like a creeper. But whatev right?
This is a little charming...water wheel thingy attached to the giant koi pond
Hmm...this picture may not have turned out as I would have liked it to for some reason. There is a nice waterfall and the pond is on the bottom that you can see.
This is a picture of the koi. They are massive! There is only one gold one that I could see...The rest are all black and look like giant carp. People feed them, and they all wrestle on top of each other to get at the food. Not attractive fish. Not attractive at al.
Here is a little charming pattern that the gardeners have carved into the hillside. The hills literally smile in Japan.
Funny story about this. What flavor would you say these chips are? Can you read Japanese? If you can, you would know. I was in a hurry and thought, "Those would be delicious, I should procure some for my culinary enjoyment." I purchased them and got home to watch some TV. I popped 5 in my mouth and immediately found out my mistake. These chips are not Sour Cream and Onion as I would have supposed....They were Wasabi. It was a hot, unfortunate mistake.
And for Cyndi, and fans of all cephalopods, this is an octopus tentacle that you can purchase. It is even 30% off.
