Very glad I managed to recover cause today was a full trip.

started with lots of Bambi in Nara
...

But omg, those male deers were freaking dangerous. Saw one gouged someone's arm with a hole the size of a quarter.

yeah deer are

They were everywhere, and very sure 100% while I was petting one that a deer tick got on me. Very quickly got it off.

komikbookgeek: the females were all so meek and mild! And so was the first male that I encountered! Had no idea that the rest were super aggressive.

it's the hormones

A number of historical buildings, shrines... Starbucks.

komikbookgeek: yeah, and autumn is apparently their mating season. And we made the mistake of buying deer food from the vendors selling them.

And the ship is parked next to this for the evening.

wow, I want whatever is in those cones, and also that Totoro

Fuzzytale: That was a life sized totoro. Slightly taller than me.

OMG!!!

Fuzzytale: it was at a Ghibli store. I was amazed and took pictures of it with my umbrella open. XD my parents were very confused why I needed an umbrella next to this.

LOL

And items at the Snoopy Cafe:

I mean you got to feed the babies at least?

komikbookgeek: err...fed maybe one before a young male came around to continuously headbutt me with its antlers for food and I rapidly gave it all up

oh no

komikbookgeek: yes, it was actually quite dangerous at the time upon reflection. But stupid tourist me hadn't known and thought feeding was fun!

nothing wrong with that!

komikbookgeek: yeah, deers are not all cute bambis. Even though there's organized vendors selling food to feed them every 20 yards or so, you should not feed wildlife. Lessons learned. Lol.

lol yeah once they figure out food comes from prime they are a menace
