Kyoto and Nara

Another place we visited was Nara Park. Nara Park contains a shrine as well but is renowned for the large amount of deer inside the park. Just as what other tourists did, my cousins and I bought some specialized pancakes for deer. Deer in the Nara Park were “polite” at the beginning: they would nod their heads in order to get the pancakes in your hands. However, if you hesitated, they would chase after you and use antlers to hit you once they detected the food in your hands. The video below was me chased by a group of deer, and I believe you notice my panic through the missing hair tie. Believe me. You don’t want to have that kind of experience twice.
