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.

  • 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.
