Seeing those pictures I always imagine there faces are red because of the hot water, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case :DLeonore Wintererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681857834221038780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-9905341805152604052018-01-10T07:48:19.554+09:002018-01-10T07:48:19.554+09:00Lots of snow.

A lot of people don't like the monkeys because they can be so aggressive (and, I think because the moneys are smart enough to know how to get what they want in that way). I was once up around Lake Chuzenji and it was pouring rain one night. I saw a group of 3 monkeys, looking just like a tough teenage gang in the street, run into a shop and then dash out towards the lake's banks. The store owner told us that the monkeys regularly steal yokon (jelly like sweets) from the shop. Their favorite flavor was green tea, and they identify the right boxes, and ignored the others. It was quite entertaining for my friend and I, but obviously not so much for the shop owner.Jen Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168401135498974644noreply@blogger.com
