Tanya, Rina (one of our Japanese classmate’s) and I went to the zoo and aquarium on the weekend. It was a bit disturbing to see all the animals caged in these tiny prisons. It wasn’t so much the fish and birds, but it’s just cruel to see an adult elephant, hippo, tiger, lion etc in a tiny cement prison with barely any space to move around in. Even the outdoor ‘enclosures’ were tiny although on the plus side, they have plants/grass!
Starved for food and rushing to get into the 3pm sealion-dolphin show at the aquarium, we opted to watch the show and munch on random snacks. The show was really great, too bad my camera ran out of memory though (I took too many videos of monkeys earlier). I wished the show went for a bit longer though, it finished much too quickly!
The aquarium was pretty fun even though we were rushing through the whole place because we only had about an hour before everything closed. It beats AQWA any day just by the size of it! But I can’t compare too much because I can’t even remember the last time I went to the zoo or aquarium!
I bought a couple of souvenirs but for some reason the aquarium had an extremely disappointing range. So much so I was on the verge of buying a Japanese Fighting fish!! soooo very cute… I’m seriously thinking of getting one and my roommate can have it when I leave… =P
Anyhow, I’ve been borderline sick the past few days but thankfully nothing worst than a runny nose and a cough. Tanya on the other hand is not so lucky, she seems to keep getting sick! We’re going to go shopping for some winter stuff after class tomorrow and I’m planning to buy a heap so I can give it to my parents when I see them Wednesday =P
PS. Pikachu is much appreciated by me and my roommate =)
