Matt’s Trip

I am staying at my friend’s house for the holidays. He lives in Kyoto. We are visiting Tokyo this weekend. He wants to show me his favorite restaurant there, a cafe called MoCHA. It is a coffee shop where you can play with cats and even adopt some of them. They are very popular in Japan because many people can’t have pets at home. He knows I love animals, so we are also planning to go to an owl cafe, a bunny cafe and a hedgehog cafe! He said there is a snake cafe too, but I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable there. It is going to be fun!

• At his house

• In Tokyo

• In Kyoto

• In Brazil
