Unbelievable

Sometimes thing in Japan strike me as foreign.  Sometimes things are different or funny.  Sometimes, things are just plain weird.

Today I was driving home and saw a man with a leash.  I thought it was just a leash because I couldn't see the animal on the end.  As I approached I saw what must be the smallest dog ever.  Is that a chihuahua?  No.

...

On the end of that leash was a guinea pig!  I can't believe I saw a Japanese man walking his speckled guinea pig. On a leash.  I laughed so hard I almost got in a car wreck.  Living in a foreign country you try to expect the unexpected.  Once in a while you still get surprised.  Thank goodness for the pleasant surprises.
