The Manequin Pee






If you can't tell what the title is refering to, you obviously can't see the picture of the peeing boy. Yes, they actually have a statue here in Japan of a little boy peeing off the side of the mountain. I have no idea why, but I am in Japan. They do some weird things here. This picture was actually taken in Tokushima, the fourth prefecture on Shikoku island. I only have one more to visit and Iam doing that this weekend. In Tokushima they have some of the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen. We got to see a lot of it because we had to drive on windy back roads through the mountains to get to the places we wanted. We saw whirlpools, the first temple on the pilgrimage to the 88 temples here on Shikoku, a vine bridge, and this very infamous statue. We did see our share of other interesting things, like the fake manequin ninja climbing up the wall of a building. I also got to eat my very first REAL fish stick ever (it was an entire fish on a stick that was bar-b-qued. It was delicious). It was a fun trip and well worth it. The flat tire wasn't though and the little boy looks just like we did when we got the flat. It was an interesting day.
