Travel Japan Day 8 Part 3 hedgehogs, rabbits, SNAKES! and all sorts cafe
Shopped all day, ate one of the best tasting beef ever and I cried when a snake wrapped its scaly body around my arm.
It rained all day and night, hence we decided to just stay in the Namba district for our last night in Japan. It turned out to be quite yummy, interesting and fun.
These guys ar Rockstar Cafe are pretty popular in the neighborhood. We had to book 4 hours in advance as it was a full house when we got there. Decided to have Kobe beef as mentioned in my previous post.
After eating the best Kobe beef in my entire life, I was ready to die. No, not yet. I still had reservation at the Small Animal Rockstar Cafe.

We got there exactly at 8 PM. Being punctual is not our strongest suit . Since we are in Japan, might as well be.
Walking in the cafe, first thing I saw was lots of cages. I didn't expect that there were so many different kinds.
Second thing was the smell! It really did smell like an animal farm. I don't know how people can eat in this place smelling that stench.
We did not want to have anything after that smell. Sat down and was told that we have to order drinks, otherwise we can't pet the animals.
After awhile, the stench seem to diminish and it wasn't so bad. Our nose have acclimated to it and we stopped cringing our noses. Ordered this banana shake.
The banana milkshake costed 800Yen which is really expensive for something so average.
This place in Sydney serves a mean milkshake with a doughnut on top.
I guess the price is justifiable if you really, really, really love petting animals. As some people comes here with a big smile and enthusiasm, like this girl/lady.
Everyone probably heard her as she expressed how ecstatic she was looking at the animals.
Just to show you what she was so excited about, here are some photos of the animals that they keep in their cafe. If you want to pet them, just ask one of the staff to take them out for you.
Rats
Meerkat
Curious
Running
Mother
Children
Sonic
Touching this little guy was painful! As there was no clear explanation or warning, I just went ahead and petted it on it's thorny back. Soon as it felt my touch, it tensed its body and pricked me. Those things are hard!
Seriously don't pet a hedgehog.
After watching it walk a couple of centimeters and curling into a ball. We decided that, this is not for us. I don't get any excitement nor joy petting caged animals. Called it and paid for the bill.
At the counter though was a little snake. The handler asked me, rather showed me if I wanted a snake on my arm. I said hell yeah!
woo Great photography.
