When we
finally left the hotel it was only kind of cloudy. Can we say calm before
the storm? Well we went and saw some sights the most notable was this
fountain. It is said that you are supposed to drink a little bit from all
three of the little mountain piss spouts. Our tour guide warned us not to
drink a full cup of water from all three of them cause that would fill you up.
Bullshit. I'm thirsty! I haven't properly drank water in days.
Every cup of water they give us in Japan I use as shot glasses over there.
Each cup is like 3 oz. And then they put ice in it! Now they show me
a big ass water fountain with 3 spouts, hand me a big cup and tell me not to
drink from it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I drink like a horse. The
water tasted kinda sweet and really fresh. One trip up there to drink from
the 3 fountains is enough but I wanted to go again to get another drink.
Hey, I'm thirsty aight? When you arrive at the sight you stand in front of
a pool. That's where the three fountains leak into. There are steps
going up the the ledge we are standing on. Once you're there you can grab
one of those metal cups with long poles. Those cups are sitting in a
little holder being bombarded with some sort of light. I'm guessing this
light is supposed to kill any germs that might be transferred from one person to
another. The little cups don't stay in there long enough though to do
anything in my opinion. Oh well. I'm American, I'm probably the
dirtiest thing in this country. After you had your drink you step towards
the left and I guess take pictures of other people drinking.
This
big ass stone was up next. You cant tell but the stone I'm standing in
front of is really one big piece of rock. I have no idea how tall it is or
how wide. If I did I would have forgotten at this point. But I'm
looking at this and asking my dad to take a picture of it so I can measure how
big it is afterwards. There's something you should know about me and my
dad. When we go out on vacations and stuff we both take pictures. My
mom just models. But when I take pictures I take it of scenery and of
landscape or landmarks or whatever. My dad likes taking pictures of
people. His argument is that he wants to know that he was there. My
response to it is that you and everyone else knows you were there. What's
the point of taking a picture of something that you already know what it looks
like? That meaning people. We know what we look like and by taking a
picture of us we are actually blocking the pictures of something we don't know
what it looks like, like the thing we are there to see. This picture is an
example of this. I go "Hey daddy, take a picture of me and the rock so I
can see how big it is. I expect to get a big picture of the rock with a
little me standing in front of it. But in actuality I get this. A
big picture of me leaning against what seems like a wall. Great...
Like I don't know what I or a wall looks like. The only joke I can find
from this is the blue stand to the right of me. I am 6'3", that blue thing
is taller than me. Who is it for? Most Japanese go only up to my
navel. How the hell are they supposed to read what it says on the top?
Only tourists can see it and how many tourist know Japanese?
