Pigs, Snakes, Lizards and Beer.

Adamant that I was to go home and study, and avoid going out at all costs, I hung around Paiyama (Literally "Tit mountain") in Sannomiya, which is a kind of meeting place in the heart of the city, and waited to be coerced into going out. I agreed to go for food, and ended up 15 minutes from my house in a little bar tucked away under Motomachi station.

The bar was famous for a live baby pig that roamed the bar, squealing loudly when anything other then a peanut was offered to it. The pig was followed by a lizard and a snake whom both took residence around my neck and torso for about 30 minutes each. It was a good laugh, and I can write the evening off as I spoke some (bad) Japanese to a few locals about British music, and where I could find a rock club in Kobe. I really could go for a night out in Metros in Cardiff!

Pictures to follow.
