Oink

It's the year of the pig in China; the year of the inoshishi, or wild boar in Japan. Last year, on a trip to Izu and Shizuoka, me and the Mimie-channers all went to a place called Inoshishi Mura, or Wild Boar Village. It was great! We got to gamble on wild boar races, pet goats, and eat hotpot made with wild boar meat. Yummy! They even gave me a free wooden wild boar doll so I could make my own races at home. But now that my luck is at steak, I'm wondering if that feast was a wise move. I think I'll carry my good luck charm around with me just in case.
