You might thiking this is just a regular guy, what's weird about him? Well for starters he picked me up hitchhiking going in the opposite direction. Then he drove me about 45 miles to my destination, payed for me to get in, and bought me a coffee. If that wasn't enough he then drove me to the train station and proceeded to try and buy my train ticket. This was just a random guy in Japan. Thank you Masahiko Ishigaki for a great experience.
These are wild monkeys just chilling in the forest of Kamikochi. No fences, no cages, just hanging out in the open. There were about 200 I guess in the forest. Usually they were no more than a couple of feet in front of you. Weird.
This is real bamboo, not the fake stuff that grows behind my house. It's weird to see how big this stuff actually gets, I've only seen the bamboo that grows about an inch across. This stuff (as you can see) is about 6 inches across!! Now that's weird.
Anime sells everything here in Japan, and I do mean everything. From cars to homes and apples to socks. This is an Astro Boy statue in front of the Kyoto train/bus station.
Now weird facts
1) It's illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while you're sitting on a curb in St. Louis!
2) The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." uses every letter of the alphabet!
Cheers
