(161) Pork monument


Cultural differences are a wonderful thing: In most western countries, no one would think of erecting a statue of a pig next to a police station. But this is not a western country; it is Japan and, more specifically, it’s Ayase, Kanagawa, one of the areas who are proud (and rightfully so) of their pork.
