Jardin Japones

We walked over to the Japanese Garden yesterday, about a 20 minute walk.
 
Apart from the decidedly un-Japanese trance music playing over a series of loudspeakers, it was well-maintained and very nice.  Jax even confirmed the pedigry of the ticket-taker - they had a quick conversation in Japanese.


 
 
The main element of the garden is la puente roja (the red bridge).  But we were also lucky to stumble into the garden on the last day of a sort of "Japanese Culture" celebration.  We sat in on several martial arts displays.


I thought Jax was going to try and take this kid home with us.  He was about half the size of the other karate kids, and super cute.

 
And on the way home at the convenience store, buying some necessaries ... we had a good laugh at this sign.  Loosely translated: "If you pay more, it's because you want to."  Very succinct!
