monkey madness

Oh so in case that last post was kind of…I dunno…here is something better.

I visited Jeremy and Yuki in Kyoto last weekend and they took me to see some cool things including Monkey Mountain. At Monkey Mountain, you pay 500 yen to have the MONKEYS watch YOU. Seriously, great experience. I was a little scared because I know these things could hurt if they wanted to. But according to Jeremy, they were pretty tame compared to the monkeys on other mountains in Japan. I am tempted to do a Japan monkey tour.

Seriously, the thing I liked about this place was that the monkeys are…in the wild. You can go into a cage (cabin) if you prefer some protection and they stand outside and watch you. They rule the area, not us. We just visit. I hope I am right that it is a good place for them. Sometimes zoos and other attractions like that can have a front that they are good for the animals and you go feeling less guilt that you are human but then at some point someone tells you how in someway the organization is actually harming the animals they are saying they help.  For now though, I don’t feel guilt for being human at monkey mountain.

I really enjoyed last weekend with you! Monkeys at Arashiyama were very cool.
