Yesterday morning, I heard Yukari open the door to our hotel room and step outside onto the veranda. Then I heard the “surprised noise” — a noise usually reserved for when there’s a spider on the toilet or something.
Instead of a spider on the toilet, there was a buffalo in the yard. The yard, in this case, was the working rice paddy that our hotel is built around. The buffalo was just sitting there, chewing some grass that it had been given by one of its keepers.
Later, we saw what we think is the same buffalo making its way through the resort. Maybe to the buffalo garage for a tuneup. I guess if buffalo burgers show up on the menu soon, we’ll know what really happened.
