The city of Nara is very unique.

The city of Nara is a very unique place.
There are many deer in Nara Park, but they also walk freely in the city.
People don't get surprised or make noise when they see them.
People take it for granted that deer walk in the city.
In Tokyo, the police would be dispatched and it would make the news.

The deer cross at crosswalks and sit in front of the shop door.
The deer even relax calmly in the street during road construction.

Don't you think this town is pretty strange?
That's obvious!  Even citizens of Nara say so!
