So I just got back from my daily run around Kanazawa, interviewing the interesting folk that live here, and the first was a run through of a Shinto shrine where I experienced walking through this huge-gantic wreath thing where you go through three times, 1) walk in with left foot first and go in a left circle... 2) right foot, right cirlce, 3) left foot, left circle 4) go on through!
I also wrote my family on a piece of paper and did this lil ritual thing to wish them good health.

BUT I SAW A TANUKI! Thats right folks, a living breathing tanuki. Holy moly.

Then after that, I went to a factory that made... uh... white fish on a stick. It tasted like... white fish on a stick. And all I got out of that was a fishy taste in my mouth and a good picture.

Thats it. Gotta find something to drink now to get this taste outa my mouth whee
