Apparently a monkey found his way to Shibuya today. The keisatsu were every where trying to get him, but I think saru-chan escaped! He was probably trying to check out the 109 building that was previously posted here on JapanSoc.

I'll try it if I can get my hands on it....Not quite as bad as Nakashima Mika's version (honestly what could be?), but...OH wait a minute...it is damn pricey for just a three pack....This might actually be good. I look forward to giving it a try....Congrats on getting photo of the week in the current...well done Danny!! I'm sold! (-:...Good point. Maybe he had a senior moment....I thought the pictures were great! Nice review. :-)...But if he's Catholic...where's that put HIS work ethic? Ha ha. What wins out?...Cool experience. By the way, I saw some of your photos featured in the Metropolis...

I saw this on the telly. I was surprised to see people screaming and running for safety when the monkey ran through the station. That kind of thing in a crowded station could start a stampede!
Yeah, I'm not really sure why there was a palpable terror amongst some of the people there. I kind of chuckled at it myself. Poor little guy all stuck in the big city.
Surprised Nick? Really? Haven't you ever seen what happens when even the smallest insect starts flying around in a train? I'm surprised the monkey did start a mass fainting!
This kind of thing is why I always carry my Xacti with me everywhere I go.
I suppose I was more surprised they didn't evacuate the station, call in half the nation's police forces and hold a stake out for a few days until the little fella left the building.
Well, I plan on going to Shibuya on Friday so I hope that I can see him.
I continue to wonder about the fascination with monkeys in Japan. If it were, say, a tiger, people would just say "Oh. A tiger. Well, here's the train." But monkeys? They go ape.
Monkeys are cute by Japanese standards. Also, the Japanese love the story of Goku or the monkey king. Monkeys are tricky.
