Crazy Japanese!


In one of the train stations we were at this weekend, they had this monument--I don't know what it was a monument for, but there it was. Of course, Ethan wanted to know why the man was peeing in the water.
We also saw this sign in another train station--so please remember don't clash into anyone else!

We also saw these interesting flowers--they look like little pepper plants, but were all different colors--I thought they were pretty.

In Brussels, Belgium there is an intentional peeing statue as well entitled "Mannekin Pis" the little boy peeing. There are a variety of folktales about this boy, but one of the ones I like best is about a happy little boy who lived with his mom and dad. A war started between the nice villagers and the bad guys, the little boy got lost and separated from his parents, in the middle of all the fighting- he had to pee...so he did, from a hill, down on all the people fighting. They thought it was hilarious, laughed, and stopped fighting.
Sounds believable to me! Hope you are well- enjoy the crazy "art"
