I got excused from school today in order to go to the aquarium with my host sister!! We had a great time! We saw penguins, sea otters, dolphins, jelly fish, a GIGANTIC whale shark, and lots lots more! We also go to touch the sting rays and even some small sharks (at least, I think they were sharks)!
It was so cool! the aquarium was built so that at the beginning you went up a super long escalator and then you work your way down from the top to the bottom. almost all the tanks were super deep. As deep in fact as the building. The animals were all super active so it was so fun to see them all!
We also got to ride on this enormous Ferris Wheel. It was so tall that it towered over some of the tallest apartment buildings. In fact, it towered over pretty much everything!
It is kind of interesting to note the ratio of various other gaijin in tourist hot spots like this. In Kyoto, which is the very historical city with lots of shrines and temples, you see a lot of, well, white people. All the Americans, Brits, and pretty much any white person, who goes to Japan wants to see the traditional temples so you find them all congregated in Kyoto. However, at places such as USJ and the Aquarium we ran across many Koreans, Chinese, etc. I'm not quite sure why this is, it's just something I have noticed.
WOW! That looks like a great place! Give your host sister a hug for me and tell her thank you. I LOVED The movie of the dolphin. :-)
