"My hair smells like pig fat."

Monday, in Japan.

The day started with Kimchee and grilled mochi. It was followed by mos burger where i had a 'burger' on grilled rice 'patties'. delicious, but completely impractical. the melon soda was awesome.
There was an electric toilet. it scared me.

Later, Irene and I went to Arishiyama and saw a bamboo forest. It was incredible: the forest has to be heard to be experienced.




Also saw some monkeys at the monkey park. To reiterate: " welcome to the monkey park. Do NOT feed the monkeys, or taunt the monkeys. And whatever you do, do NOT make eye contact with the monkeys."





Hungry, we had a two-part dinner. Part one: grilled squidballs at sanbon-marutamachi square [takoyaki]] with mayo, some mysterious spicey sauce, bonito and green onions on top. *supurb*.
Part two: searching for okonomiyaki, we can across a grill-your-own-meat-place.

Irene: ''This is our first time. Do we put the meat here [on the grill]?''
Proprietor: ''Yes, just put it there.''
Irene: ''Are you sure??''
Proprietor: [smiled and nodded]
