First, a sudden random thought: Why isn’t the plural of “monkey” spelled “monkies”?
Anyway, adorable monKEYS of Mount Takasaki on Kyushu island, Japan. For those not in the know, Kyushu is the part of Japan where Nagasaki (my favorite city) is. Although the nation of Japan is comprised of literally hundreds and hundreds of islands–most so small you can’t see them on a map–the country’s “mainland” (what most people commonly think of as Japan proper) is made up of 4 big islands: From North to South they are: Hokkaido (where Sapporo is located–home of the famous beer); Honshu (this is where Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, all the way to Hiroshima, are located); Shikoku (no famous world-known cities here); and Kyushu (Nagasaki and Fukuoka are here, as well as a US Naval base in Sasebo). You can actually include Okinawa as a 5th major island.
