rat!

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2008.06.18

I saw my first Tokyo rat today. Naturally, it was in a subway station. It looked like it had had a couple of close shaves with subways, as it was missing some hair on its back.

It was either dodging subways, or maybe someone had been conducting aspartame experiments on the poor fellow.
