A morning trip to the Japanese Garden at #OhoriPark, which was quite beautiful. There were signs saying that some kind of "show" occurred at regular intervals. I was afraid it would be some cheesy "dancing fountains" with colored lights and pop music. instead, thick clouds of mist were released into the park. I wish we could've stayed all day; it would've been interesting to see how the mist looked with the sun at different angles. #ε€§ζΏ ε…¬εœ’

Later we sat in #KegoPark. There was a girl, maybe three years old, running all over the park at top speed. We were concerned because we didn't see a parent and were afraid she might run into traffic. Then we spotted the mother, who was wearing a floor length black trenchcoat with a massive hood covering her head. She followed the girl slowly but relentlessly. #θ­¦ε›Ίε…¬εœ’

This scene went on for twenty minutes! The girl was absolutely indefatigable, but so was the mother. It was like watching a video game: "Little Girl vs. The Mysterious Agents of the Underworld!" lol We wondered how long it would take the mother to catch her kid, and eventually she did. πŸ˜„
