Whale shark
















Turtle

Took some time off to go for a short holiday with Huimin.

This time round, we went up to Osaka for some good food and shopping. A very short trip with just two nite's stay. Min could had spent more time there, but because of mi working, we can only stay for two nites,.

It had been really great - lots of eating and shopping! Here is a typical makan schedule. Osaka may be city like, but there is absolutely no lacking of food!

1030hrs - coffee and cheese cake
1200hrs - Soba / Udon / Ramen
1400hrs - chicken wings and cream puff
1600hrs - okonomiyaki
1800hrs - Sushi!
2100hrs - Kirin draft beer

Managed to get two Gundam units at a good price.. This will keep mi accompanyed for a while... As for Min, she got herself some ear rings, clothings and compulsive buying at 100yen shop....

Not wanting to make it a pure shopping trip, we took a while to understand the railway system and made our way for a half day trip to Osaka aquarium. From the above pic, it contained a decent collection of the underwater world. What stands proud is the whale shark kept in a nine storey tall aquarium. A very impressive feat. It feels a bit cruel to keep it under capitivity, in my opinion, but the aquarium does serve as a good place for eco - conservation and educating the general public abt the underwater effort.

Arigato!
