Ask Joel: Japanda Problems

 


Joel: Jeeze, all these strangers so concerned about my Japanda trip...I swear. I can't decide wether I'm flattered or creeped out to be honest.

Megumi: I vote for creeped out. I'd be creeped out if it were me.

Joel: Well they aren't asking for nude pictures or used underwear.

Megumi: Yet...

Joel: Anyway, no I didn't upset any Yakowza types, and I...er...well...as for making a scene.

Megumi: The 'Gunbun' statue incident did make nation-wide news, granted it's not the first time it's happened.

Joel: I had to pay a pretty hefty fine to avoid a bit of jail time. Still...I'm kind of surprised the fee was so low.

Megumi: Again, you weren't the first to pull a stunt like that. There were a number of Otaku before you've who've either tried to scale it because they were fans, as well as a number of...goats, like sheep and goat? Ca-Capri?

Joel: Caprids?

Megumi: Yeah, they got that 'urge to climb' in their blood, well...some of them do. Some of 'em were just compelled to climb it because it was there.

Joel: Well, I was climbing cause I wanted a sweet selfie with an important piece of animalme history.

Megumi: *Chuckles* You sure about that? If I recall, you didn't know that exact gunbun's name and number...

Joel: O-okay...so maybe part of it was...a bit of an urge to scale a weird object... kinda deal...

Megumi: Part of?

Joel: Eighty percent Gunbun, twenty percent free climb.
