Ooonsen! Hot Spring!

Phew. Two finals down. One more to go.
Next week will be more fun because all the finals will be over!

I was talking about Onsen~or hot springs~ with someone yesterday.
I said I want to go to a hot spring! since it's so cold now. He said, you think like a monkey. Apparently monkeys get into hot springs in Japan when the weather gets cold, and sometimes you can see humans sitting in hot springs along with monkeys. Hehe it might be hard to picture that, but I will help you with this image that made me laugh when I first saw it but made me a little scared about going to unknown hot springs in Japan.



I don't want them picking licks off my hair.......


So I heard there is *one day hot spring* where you take the train to a hot spring spot, enjoy your hot spring, and come back on the same day. Good for saving $$ on hotels, but enjoying onsen, to me, is made to sound more like running an errand or a trip visiting the dentist and less like enjoying and relaxing yourself at a vacation spot...

Dunno maybe its just me, but I wanna take my time at a hot spring and dip myself in that healing water until my skin becomes unbelievably silky~~

But judging from the picture, I don't think it worked on the monkeys... hmmm
