Kamogawa... Part 2
OK. Where did I leave off? (see last post if you haven't read it already)
Oh yeah, the underwater walrus pics. I got some underwater pics of the walruses, then we wandered around in that lower area for a bit....
After that we went back up to ground level and went to a gift shop... I didn't see anything that REALLY stood out though, so we decided to look at another gift shop. On the way I got another medal thing.... The "stupid tourist" item that I love... :p A coin in a pendant (or keychain, but I always get pendant) with the date and your name engraved in the coin.... This is my 3rd Kamogawa one (this time I got a beluga one).
We then went into the tropical area.... I really wanted to, so we did. :p They had this AWESOME tank..... It was basically a wall, and there were rays, turtles, sharks, fish..... It was everything I'd want in a fish tank! :p So cool.... Of course there were also beautiful reef tanks that I loved.... Pictures were hard to get, but I did my best.
After that we went to the gift shop by the gate.... Much to my dismay, there was even less there than at the other gift shop! So we decided to go BACK to the other one.... Why can't these places just have one gift shop? It's annoying. :p
So we walked back to the other one (it wasn't far....) and I did my shopping.... Got Kento a funny looking little walrus, and got myself an eel like thing (otsubo) and an orca.... I spent more than I thought I was going to, and I'm still kind of kicking myself for it.... But oh well. The otsubo was about ¥1000 more than I thought.... Oops.
Then we went and caught the end of an orca show.... I can only put pictures up if I figure out how to do frame shots in movies, because I did a movie of it.... That also means small pictures, but oh well. I guess I did get a couple just pictures too.
The exciting thing about the ora show.... A baby! :) Less than a month old, and SO cute! It was born on February 25th, and it was in the tank with the rest of the whales during the show..... I loved it. :) That's why I did the movie.... I wanted to be sure to get the baby on film!
After the show ended we headed back to the bus. We went through the mambo (mumbo, manbo, whatever) building to go back, because we could.... :p Then we left.... So sad.
When everyone got back on the bus, we left. I played Pokémon.... Big surprise, huh? ;) We made one stop on the way back.... Where we bought strawberries! And I ate ice cream. Then we headed back to the meeting place.
When we got off the bus, we were all handed flowers.... EVERYONE got flowers. It was crazy. :p
Ishido-san was giving us a ride home, so we went with her.... Got everything in the car, then we left.... To dinner! Sushi! Yumm...... There was 4 of us (Ishido-san, me, grandma, and the other person we were dropping off)... We went to one of those sushi places with the track carrying things around.... But since there wasn't enough people yet, we were just yelling out orders and getting them. Which was in a way nice.....
The others ordered this one kind of sushi, I still don't know what it was. They asked for 3 of them, but got 4.... So I said I'd give it a try. It was really good..... But there was one thing that freaked me out. One side of the plate was occupied with the sushi, and the other, well, I need another sentence to explain..... There was a head and a tail.... The tail had the center part of the fish still there (the area with the spine, but the rest had been cut off).... That was standing up with a stick, and then the head was sitting there.... Eye and all. It scared me to look at.... There was no particular reason for this, I think.... It was just there.
On the other hand, the sushi was great! :p
After that we dropped the other person off, then were dropped off ourselves. :) I talked to Kento online, got a bath, ate some food.... And posted, of course.... Then I read, and went to bed.
All in all, a VERY good day. It was a bit drizzley all day, but it was still a lot of fun! I think I almost typed fin.... Actually I almost typed fn, but fin would have been funnier.
