Day Off

Today was a holiday. I couldn't tell you which, but we had today off. Last night we went to a little Mom and Pop restaurant that had outrageous portions for like 500 or 600 yen. I got a huge plate of pork cutlet curry for 400 yen. It was great. Today, most people just chilled, but I went with a friend to Takayama for a hike. It was pretty damn awesome. Then I found maybe the greatest hair salon known to man and took a picture of the sign. You'll have to see it to believe it. Almost too good to be true. Pictures.
