    trees … [fx: record scratching to a halt]

    What? Did they import penguins to go with their northerly macaques? What next, kangaroos in Kyushu? elephants in Edo?

    Here are my sincere thanks to all the great people connected with CO (that includes YOU, dear commenters!) who have helped me retain my few shreds of sanity on this interesting planet with your own brand of hilarious insanity. CO motto: come for the Qte; stay for the comments. Holiday wishes for all, as they say in Hungary:
    “Kellemes karácsonyt és boldog új évet kivánok Önnöknek”

    Penguins are my most favorite bird ever! I especially love King Emperor Penguins. So majestic.

    Thanks to Angel for the holiday greetings in Hungarian. I posted that on my husband’s music teacher’s Facebook page. Her name is Enikő Könye and she used to appear on TV.

    Wait a minute. Are these wild penguins? In Japan? (head spinning)

      They’re one of the biggest attractions at Asahikawa Zoo, which is the largest zoo in (I believe) all of Japan. They take them out for a parade-stroll every day during the winter. :D
