The next morning we were off to Osaka Aquarium, I absolutely love aquariums and I'm so intrigued with anything that has to do with the ocean and things underwater.
The aquarium was pretty big and housed 2 whale sharks.
Saw this cool guys inside just chilling, my girlfriend said it looked like a giant hamster and it really does.
Some octopus hiding at the bottom.
Giant spider crabs! these guys looked surreal, they were so big.
and there were a whole bunch of them.
That was pretty much it from inside the aquarium as the camera wasn't too good in low light conditions.
Me and the mouth of a really big shark.
The touch pools they had were so much better than back home, I got to touch sharks and sting rays and not just coral and star fishes.
It was nice to be able to pet these animals, little kids were loving it too and I convinced my girlfriend to finally touch them too and she didn't really like it but I was having a ball. I felt kind of bad as it seemed the sharks and sting rays were dumbed down a bit as they weren't really reacting to us touching them.
A great quote on the wall as we were leaving.
Some great Engrish at the restaurant we went to for dinner inside the shopping centre just outside of the aquarium.
Our friend Kim found this cool all you can eat restaurant where you cook your own battered food.
A very cool idea indeed and we had a great time there, too bad there wasn't much in variety and I pretty much just at the prawns all night.
More food, we ate so much until we got sick of it, then we just headed back to our hotel to get some rest in for our big day to Universal Studios.
Stay tuned as I'm starting to get back into the swing of things and I should be writing up my Cultural Report today for UTS but you know how much I love to procrastinate so I think I'll be contributing quite a lot more my blog.
