Fushimi Inari was founded in 711, and is the main shrine of a complex which trails all over the Inari mountain. In Japan Inari is the patron of wealth, and so the entire complex is worshipped by businesses from around Kyoto and beyond. In order to receive good fortune local businesses donate 'torii' which are traditional Japanese gates meant to mark the transition from the profane to the sacred. Fushimi Inari now has many thousand of these Torii all around the mountain, each one bearing the name of its donor.

November 11th is 빼빼로 / pepero day here in korea!
Pepero (빼빼로) is a cookie stick that kids like to snack on.
according to wiki.....
Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine's Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date "11/11" resembles four sticks of Pepero.[3][4] The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts.
According to one story, Pepero Day was started in 1994 by students at a girls' middle school in Busan, where they exchanged Pepero sticks as gifts to wish one another to grow "as tall and slender as a Pepero".
street cats have a hard life in Korea, Koreans generally do not like street cats and/or are scared of them. Nakji is the third street cat i have rescued. He was found in a garbage can when he was about 2 weeks old and I took him from the vet at the feral age of 4 weeks. he has been a feral pain in my ass since but i love him to death.
