Grant's Long service

We have probably slowed down a little bit as our time in Japan is drawing to the end but still out and about checking out some new things. Notably, we went to Ueno Zoo, which for the kids meant seeing Pandas for the first time. The size of the zoo is quite impressive however I can't say that it is best example of how a modern zoo should be set up. It certainly shows its age not just in terms of infrastructure but also in practices. With only a $6 entrance fee I can't help but feel that increasing the price would have better outcomes for how the animals are kept. The extended parklands of Ueno were definitely enjoyable to stroll around. We also went to Akihabara which I found quite interesting. It is the suburb for all things hobby. The anime and figurine stuff doesn't float my boat but I did enjoy exploring the hobby shops with Frog...we could definitely spend some money here. Spent one night in Shinjuku to visit Godzilla. Shinjuku isnt my favourite places in Tokyo but it was to take the kids back to see Godzilla... this time without tears. Of course the culinary adventure continues but a visit to our local Indian restaurant is always on the cardsBaca lagi
