• A deer town

    December 21, 2024 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    We went to Nara today and when we arrived we hopped on a bus and went to the Nara Deer Park. There were lots of deers- I reckon there were 1000-1500 of them. When you are at the park you are allowed to go up and pat them. One funny thing that they do is bow at you because they think if they are nice to you they might get a biscuit. There was also a huge temple with a very big Buddha- I think the 2nd biggest one of the holiday.
    The deer's were both big and small- the big ones looked a bit dodgy so I tried to keep my distance. They have had their antlers cut off but we did see a few people getting chased!
    In the evening when we were walking home it started to rain! We were not expecting it and luckily we were standing out the front of a little bar. The owner let us come in and we sat there for a drink. The japanese are very kind people.
    Nara was a really great and a fun place with all the deer and I really liked it.
