There's never a dull moment at our gem and mineral shows. Like last weekend in Kobe a visitor brought her orange puppy along with her.
However, dogs nor giant freaking lizards are allowed in the show.
One of the things I learned when I first moved to Japan was that exotic animal ownership was quite normal compared to the USA. It seems that's still the case.
I have no idea of what kind of iguana or lizard that is, but it was big and orange.
Unfortunately we were very busy so I couldn't go out an pet it.
Aside from the lizard, when I arrive at the show in the morning a dealer who went to mine amethyst nearby left some presents on my chair.
There's never a dull moment.
Thanks for reading!
