Fuck This... Im Going to Japan k2 said about 1 year ago: Thanks dzerzhanzhinskii! k2 said about 1 year ago: So I'm staying at this place http://www.andon.co.jp/ - any recommendations on things to do nearby? Looks kind of close to minamisenju station - get a train one stop to kitasenju and check out Senju itself. There is a fish market there (not as big as tsukiji, but still worth checking out). You can also eat basashi (raw horse meat) in the area. Also there are loads of old sento (bath house) in the area with cool Mt Fuji murals. Also there is a live music venue in Senju that is full of westerners and jappers who like westerners. Cant remember the name. Senju itself is a pretty cool neighbourhood. dzerzhanzhinskii said about 1 year ago: basashi that word makes me salivate irrationally. that and uni, otoro, rafute, shinshū soba, and horumonyaki So I'm staying at this place http://www.andon.co.jp/ - any recommendations on things to do nearby? if you like fish and unagi (eel), there are at least two places in nearby asakusa (20-30 minutes bus-ride/drive?) that serve some of the best around. komagata dozeu - traditional two century old restaurant that specialises in dojo fish - eel-like freshwater fish. they have whale meat too. irokawa - hands down, one of the best grilled eel spots in all of tokyo. dzerzhanzhinskii said about 1 year ago: 101 of 129 dzerzhanzhinskii said about 1 year ago: dzerzhanzhinskii said about 1 year ago: head over to ''hoppy street'' (hoppy dori) in asakusa for a good night out. it's within walking distance from the sensoji temple. it's a laneway with plenty of little izakayas (taverns / pubs) to keep you happy with alcoholic beverages and delicious food. food is mostly quick and simple tapas style snacking. they make really tasty motsu-nikomi (braised pork/beef offal) over there from what i can remember. You can also eat basashi (raw horse meat) in the area. you needn't go that far for a taste of horse. nakae is nearby - 5-10 minutes walk? from the andon ryokan. it's quite a famous place and very old too (over a century or so, i believe). go for the house specialty, sakura nabe (the meat is cooked / simmered / stewed in a hot pot), if you don't want it raw. just right next door is a tempura eatery, iseya, that i highly recommend. it's another local institution with a long history. very popular with the locals. the tempura battering is old-school - substantial, thick, crusty. the portions they serve here are generous as well. order the regular staple of ten-don - tempura (generally prawns and veggies) on steamed rice. the in-house sauce is divine. There is virtually no nightlife in Asakusa though, see hoppy street above. celluloid hero said about 1 year ago: just in tokyo now, my third time here and kinda noticed the record shopping experience seems to have declined quite a bit. lots of stuff is really expensive now compared to 3 years ago - does anyone know why that is? used to be able to find heaps of stuff real cheap and it seems like the selection is way thinner now and lots of stuff is very expensive. did people just wise up to it? yoghurt said about 1 year ago: Will be in Japan for just over 2 weeks from end of Feb. Flying into Osaka then out of Tokyo. Any recommendations? My ambitions so far are: Bullet train Ninjas or Sumos Temples Raw horse meat 102 of 129 k2 said about 1 year ago: My ambitions so far are: Bullet train Easy. You will have to get from Osaka to Tokyo somehow. Ninjas or Sumos You can visit sumo stables in tokyo if you get up early. Google will give you details on ones that allow filthy foreigners like yourself. Ninjas - there is that theme restaurant, or visit a ye olde theme park. Temples I'd be surprised if you could manage a visit to Japan and not accidentally end up in a temple at some point. Raw horse meat Up thread a bit we talk about Basahi and where you can get it (around Senju from memory). Jetstar flying melb to tokyo direct now is fuckin ace. bigdaddykane said about 1 year ago: Kyoto has all the temples you'll need to see. Get a bike and pedal from the Golden Temple (Kinkaku-ji) to the Bamboo Forest (Tenryū-ji) to the Silver Temple (Ginkaku-ji) and down the Philosophers Walk. Then have dinner in Gion and run into some Geishas. In Tokyo, just go crazy! 103 of 129 k2 said about 1 year ago: Few photos from Nikko today: 104 of 129 yoghurt said about 1 year ago: Japan is excellent. yoghurt said about 1 year ago: Met a guy who let us have his log cabin in the hills behind Fukuyama for as long as we want. And his car. He organized a breakfast for us with some lady and it turned out to be a kidnapping for a day of following her around Hugh Jackman locations. Good times but we had absolutely no idea what she was on about and she loved to talk. 105 of 129 tigers said about 1 year ago: Ok - gonna be back there again in July with no great plans. Done all the major cities already - want to spend more time in the country/mountains. Any recommendations? ocelotl said about 1 year ago: Not exactly in the country/mountains, but how about an island? A quiet fishing community turned site-specific art hotspot? I had some sublime experiences at Naoshima a few years ago. k2 said about 1 year ago: Ok - gonna be back there again in July with no great plans. Done all the major cities already - want to spend more time in the country/mountains. Any recommendations? Takayama is awesome, as is the amazingly beautiful train journey to get there. Plus Hida beef, and really great sake. Hirayunomori is a great overnight onsen in the mountains - actually one of the cheapest and best onsens I have stayed in. Basic Japanese room (fine by me, I just wanted to relax) and amazing outdoor rotemburo (stone hot spring baths) that are open all night for guests. Includes brilliant kaiseki cuising and is the only onsen resort I have ever stayed in that has Engrish speaking staff and some Engrish instructions for things. I think it was only about $95 / night, and I was there during winter, so could hear avalanches on nearby mountains while I sat in a hot bath at midnight. One of my best memories of my most recent trip. This town is called Narai-juku and is on the old Nakasendo road: You can hike between towns on the Nakasendo (say Tsumago and Magome - about 7km) and pretend you are living in the Edo period travelling between Kyoto and Edo. The towns along this historic road have largely been kept the same too - very peaceful and relaxing. k2 said about 1 year ago: Also you will be there in prime Fuji-san climbing season - been to Hakone and the lakes area? It's beautiful. Maybe head that way for a few nights and climb Fuji-san? bigdaddykane said about 1 year ago: Lake Kawajuiko has a nice reflection of Fuji in it. And the roller coaster is killer! yoghurt said about 1 year ago: I could live in Japan. 106 of 129 tigers said about 1 year ago: I forgot to check back in here... ocelotl said 7 days ago: Not exactly in the country/mountains, but how about an island? A quiet fishing community turned site-specific art hotspot? I had some sublime experiences at Naoshima a few years ago. Have already hit that up - loved it. k2 said 7 days ago: Takayama is awesome, as is the amazingly beautiful train journey to get there. Plus Hida beef, and really great sake. Yep, I've been looking into this. I think I'm gonna drive around for a week. Will have at least a couple of days in Takayama. I'll check out the other places you mentioned - looks great. Also you will be there in prime Fuji-san climbing season this is something I am definitely considering. I think my time-frame might make it hard. Am really trying to not try to fit in too much this time. Has anyone been to Yamagata? Looks amazing, as does Shirakawa-go k2 said about 1 year ago: Has anyone been to Yamagata I mean to go to Yamadera in Jan, but stayed in Sendai instead. I completely agree with not trying to fit too much in - I always try not to do that but still end up doing perhaps too much. Matsumoto is also a cool place to visit. Really great castle there and some of the best ramen I had in all of Japan (and I ate LOADS or ramen last time I was there). Regarding Fuji-san - I dont think we really respected the climb enough - we were smoking and drinking sake in the early stages of the climb (started at 10pm from the 5th station), and by 4am, I thought I may in fact die on the mountain. It's not super hard - grannys and kids do the climb, but yeah if you do go ahead with it, eat well before, take water, give yourself plenty of time, etc. I dont want to scare you though - it was and still is one of the most amazing travel experiences I have ever had and will remember watching the sun come up from the top of the mountain until my grave.

  • When Pigs Fly Camporee
    When Pigs Fly Camporee “When Pigs Fly Camporee” is an exciting event where Scouts will put their Scout skills to use while having a fun-filled, pig-packed day. The wearing of pig attire is encouraged! Flying Pigs Tournament: A tournament of Ultimate using flying pigs (Frisbees with pigs painted on them). Boar Me with the Details: While hiking in the woods, a member of your patrol gets severely injured by a wild boar. Can you treat the wounds and evacuate to help? Bacon? Did you say Bacon? Start a fire without matches and get the bacon cooked. Transport the Pig: The pig must cross the river. You and your patrol must safely take the pig across a raging river, utilizing the stepping stones. Steal the Bacon: A contest between patrols. Scouts of a patrol are assigned a number, which is shared by a member of the opposing patrol. The patrols line up on opposite edges of the playing area, which has the "bacon" (a small object which can be grabbed and carried) in the center. A referee calls out a number, and the scouts who have that number must run to the center, grab the bacon, and return to their patrol without being tagged by the other Scout with that number. Tagging of a Scout may not occur before that Scout has touched the "bacon". The referee may call out more than one number resulting in many pairs of Scouts, each Scout attempting to steal the "bacon". The referee continues calling out numbers until a patrol reaches the agreed amount and that patrol wins.

  • Sus Scrofa) Michaela Masilkova *, Miloš Ježek , Václav Silovský , Monika Faltusová , Jan Rohla, Tomáš Kušta & Hynek Burda
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Observation of rescue behaviour in wild boar (Sus scrofa) Michaela Masilkova *, Miloš Ježek , Václav Silovský , Monika Faltusová , Jan Rohla, Tomáš Kušta & Hynek Burda Here, we provide unique photo documentation and observational evidence of rescue behaviour described for the frst time in wild boar. Rescue behaviour represents an extreme form of prosocial behaviour that has so far only been demonstrated in a few species. It refers to a situation when one individual acts to help another individual that fnds itself in a dangerous or stressful situation and it is considered by some authors as a complex form of empathy. We documented a case in which an adult female wild boar manipulated wooden logs securing the door mechanism of a cage trap and released two entrapped young wild boars. The whole rescue was fast and particular behaviours were complex and precisely targeted, suggesting profound prosocial tendencies and exceptional problem-solving capacities in wild boar. The rescue behaviour might have been motivated by empathy because the rescuer female exhibited piloerection, a sign of distress, indicating an empathetic emotional state matching or understanding the victims. We discuss this rescue behaviour in the light of possible underlying motivators, including empathy, learning and social facilitation. Rescue behaviour in animals is a form of prosocial action when one individual (rescuer) frees the other indi- vidual (victim) that fnds itself in a distressing or dangerous situation 1. Rats freeing restrained cage mates and ants rescuing their colony members trapped in a nylon snare buried in sand represent concrete examples of this phenomenon2,3.

Garval: Visions of Pork Production, Past and Future, on French Belle Époque Pig Postcards Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide 14, no. 1 (Spring 2015) Visions of Pork Production, Past and Future, on French Belle Époque Pig Postcards by Michael D. Garval Pigs abounded on French postcards in the medium’s golden age, ca. 1900–1914. Pig postcards are a remarkably lively, compelling, but largely forgotten feature of the Belle Époque’s richly varied, rapidly evolving visual culture. These cards offer up for study a fortuitous and suggestive conjunction: the commonest of farm animals with a long history as an indispensable food source, represented massively on a new medium that became ubiquitous and influential, precisely at a time when the pig’s role in French culture and agriculture was starting to shift significantly. Scrutinizing pig postcards can thus reveal a good deal not only about the surprising scope and impact of visual media during this period, but also about changes in pork production that were characteristic not only of the French but also of the broader Western food system’s incipient modernization.

  • A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures
    Cinematic “Pigness”: A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures By Mark von Schlemmer Submitted to the graduate degree program in Film and Media Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Catherine Preston ____________________________ Chairperson Chuck Berg ______________________________ Tamara Falicov ______________________________ Kevin Willmott ______________________________ Barbara Barnett ______________________________ Date defended: July 2, 2010 Acceptance Page This Dissertation Committee for Mark von Schlemmer certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Cinematic “Pigness”: A Discourse Analysis of Pigs in Motion Pictures Catherine Preston ____________________________ Chairperson Chuck Berg ______________________________ Tamara Falicov ______________________________ Kevin Willmott ______________________________ Barbara Barnett ______________________________ Date Approved: July 28, 2010 ii Abstract The representations of “others” in film have been contentious since filmmaking began. Fraught with misrepresentations, cinema has been held responsible, and occasionally credited, for influencing cultural practices and helping to shape discourses in American society. This study suggests that the media representations of nonhuman animals also have a profound effect on how Americans think about animals and that these representations warrant examination to uncover the naturalized messages and assumptions that are presented about animals. Explored here are the extent to which these images depict animal-ness – moments of authentic nonhuman behavior or experience that are not simply a reflection of humanity but have meaning for the animals themselves. This study highlights the case of “food animals” – specifically pigs. The disjunction between how we represent them – the narratological roles they fill in animal films – and the way that actual pigs are used in American society is vast and disturbing.
