We decided to take advantage of Monday being my only off-day of the week by using it to go to Arashiyama and the Monkey Park they have there. It's basically a mountain that is reserved for 150 or so monkeys. You walk up a path and you aren't separated from the monkeys at all. At the top you can go into a shack and feed the monkeys through a cage. It's pretty fun. The monkeys are crazy.
My favorite monkey was this fatass monkey that screamed at everyone. He screamed at the people giving him food, he screamed at the other monkeys. I think he just liked to hear his own voice. I told him he needed a diet, but I don't think he listened to me.
The monkeys are pretty cool, you can get pretty close to them. The only downside to the monkey park is that you have to walk up a mountain. So that wasn't pleasant. But overall a cool place.
Tuesday after practice all the Americans made it out to Kyoto to see Hana Touro in the Gion District. Hana Touro is a lantern festival, thousands of lanterns are set up all over the place. The Gion district is also the Geisha district. W
e did not see any Geisha's unfortunately. They are like leprechauns they are so difficult to find.
This is me with my favorite monkey!!
