6.8 Two Monkeys

What cute monkeys！Animals can be very effective mascot that revitalize local areas. A lot pf Japanese people are likely to enthuse popular animals that are talked about. Actually, many friends around me went to Wakayama to see Tama. However, craze for animals in Japan is may sometimes appear very strange to the eyes of foreign people. For example, in 2002, a bearded seal apppeared in Tamagawa, Saitama prefecture. Japan went crazy over it, and Saitama prefecture gave it a certificate of residence. How dou you think about it? Does a bearded seal need a certificate of residence? I don't think so. Actually animals are very cute and attractive. However, in my opinion, overdone enthusiasm for animals can be foolish.
