cute animals on the streets of Fukuoka

While I was shopping in Fukuoka in April, I was lucky enough to run into this man.
He had a matching colored longhaired cat & dog following him around while he pushed a stroller whose passenger was a spoiled longhair cat. He also had a relaxed fuzzy cat hanging out on his shoulder.


I probably gave him the creeps because i was so excited, but he consented to some quick photos anyhow. You go out into the world with animals like these, you are asking for attention from weirdos.

Look-alikes.

This cat is wearing a tiara!
The day before I saw these great cats, I was able to pet an adorable tiny horse on my way to the manga store.

This little horse was on the sidewalk to promote a riding group.

The bunnies of Gwangju

5-18

May 18 is the anniversary of the Gwangju Uprising, and there was a lot of activity here in Gwangju to commemorate this event. Dramatic re-creations and other performances were staged, various social causes were being advocated at booths with related actvities, and lots of crafts & displays filled the streets in the area now called Democracy Square. Here are some of our snapshots of the day's events.
