Snake

Cycling along the Meguro River this morning, and I came across a huge snake! I didn't think they had them in Tokyo, but there it was, slithering along the path in front of me, chased by an old man who was shouting at it excitedly. It was about 1 metre in length, and silver brown in hue. It escaped into the hedges, and I tracked it for a while, spotting it periodically glinting in the shrubbery. Some people believe snakes symbolize money and wealth, so here's hoping!
