monkey

Yesterday we went to the Mt. Takasaki Monkey Land National Park.
This is about the closest I have been to a monkey in my life. They were everywhere, and running around the whole place. We thought the monkeys would be way up in trees, or far away from the path. Angelo didn’t like the unnatural situation, but I for me this was outweighed by the sheer amazement that we could see them so close.
And we learned the sounds that monkeys make in Japanese:
キャキャ
kya kya
ウキキ
u ki ki
Some of the little guys were picking up rocks and banging them together.
