A Japanese Castle....

So this castle I'm talking about is a remake of the original the Americans destroyed in the war.  It's all made out of wood, the buildings I mean, and kind of looks like a Chinese restaurant, but it's all good...I mean, if you like that kind of thing.  Here is one of the gates...

...and this is a decoration from the palace....looks like a place that I got really sick at...

They called it the Golden Dragon in Saskatoon...they served really mediocre Chinese, and high mileage hookers, but I digress!  They had this sign somewhere in the big square that people stand around in...

Being familiar with Japanese, I personally translated it for you..."Please make not roll in spaghetti during one legged race".  I don't make this stuff up...this woman was just as perplexed as I was...

They didn't run any spaghetti races when we were there, but that doesn't mean the Emperor didn't like them.  They had big walls and stuff...

...and the kind of stuff you'd expect from spaghetti racers...

 ...and this thing in the Emperors private toilet that kind of surprised me...

...ya, things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  While I was pondering little Tweeties fate, I looked over and Cassandra was trying to pick up some skate dude...I KICKED HIS ASS!!!!

The castle is up on a hill, and I thought we'd better get the hell out of there before any other animals started hitting on Cassandra, so we walked down this hill...

Thought maybe we'd get some tourist info, and when I came back out, this horndog was making obscene gestures at Cassandra who seemed to be welcoming them....hmmmmmmmmm again.

So then we went to a market...

...and this little old lady tried to get Cassandra to go home with her...

Christ, I thought the Russians were bad!
