I love how human the monkeys look. They are enjoying this as much as humans do, with human expression. Love the one floating almost totally underwater with only his little face poking through the surface.
Those are totally human expressions! I wish I was in a hot spring right now.
According to primatologist Frans De Waal: in the East, there isn't as much of a perceived divide between human and animal as we have in the West because of our religious tradition and lack of primates in our geography. In fact, the Japanese word for monkey (o-saru-san) has the honorific prefix and translates to "mister monkey."
