I recently had a run-in with some of the local wildlife here in Ogaki. As a native of Western Washington, my prior experiences with wildlife has been pretty tame: raccoons, possums, squirrels, an absurd number of deer going to town on the neighborhood roses, that sort of thing. But the other day on my way to work, I ran into a new type of fauna: a snake!
The only snakes we have in the Seattle area are garter snakes: small, harmless, and kind of cute. This snake was not any of those…
Upon further research after the fact, I actually have reason to suspect that the monstrous snake I edged around in spine-tingling terror was possibly a mamushi, which is venomous! So scary.
Venomous snakes have never been a part of my life before, so it was quite a shock to see a venomous snake at all, let alone one so visibly well-fed and well over a foot long. My only consolation is that there was only the one on the bridge that day. For now. We shall see what the future holds for me and snakes!

I just moved to Ogaki from New York City. In NYC I was working at a jewelry design company. My company made every kind of jewelry, from plastic to diamonds!
I especially love making silver jewelry. When you make things in silver you can use fire and lasers! Since silver is soft and easy to bend, you can make anything you can imagine…
I usually like simple designs like hearts or flowers. In Thailand, I saw lots of elephant and snake designs. In Korea, I saw lots of rabbits and cats. I’d like to know what kind of designs are popular in Japan!
