Blogger Ben: Nara
Posted on | October 11, 2010 | 1 Comment
My second day in Kansai involved taking a day trip out to nearby Nara. Nara is a magical place with a temple inhabited with what I like to call four legged furry pigeons. Others call prefer to call them by a more typical name: deers. Seriously, the deers at Todai-ji (東大寺) will literally bite you in the ass looking for deer rice crackers called senbei (せんべい). The weather this time co-operated. It was sunny and mild which made touring Nara a wonderful experience. I don't have much to say other than the fact that the touristy spots were extremely crowded because, like everyone else, I decided to visit during a long weekend. But that's ok because otherwise I would not have been able to show you, dear readers, what happens to you when you withold senbei
It starts out great
Then more arrive
Panic sets in and you RUNNNNNNN
Cornered. That's what happens when you withold

This sort of reminds me of Niagara falls. I went there when I was a child and remember the deer chasing me for food quite well.
On second thought, there’s a J-dorama called Shikaotoko Aoniyoshi (Deer Man?) that takes place in Nara and features an enchanted talking deer..
Did any of the deer happen to speak to you?
