Kaiyukan Aquarium in Osaka

I took like near to 300 photos in the aquarium, but most are blurry and/or dark. So I picked out some of the best ones of each subject here for your viewing pleasure. ;)

This is Yu-chan, the whale shark in Kaiyukan Aquarium. It's so huge and elegant, but so so difficult to take a good picture because the tank is too thick and she moves too fast.

Around Kaiyukan Aquarium

Continuing on with the Japan photos, here is a light one on the street heading towards Kaiyukan Aquarium - one of the spots I look forward most to in Osaka. :)

Cute planters along the street leading up to the Kaiyukan Aquarium!

A giant ferris wheel just outside the aquarium!

What I've been up to this month

I had a lot of first times this month...

First time travelling to China.
First time experiencing spring.
First time travelling with family.
First time travelling with a huge group of 10 family members and relatives.
First time following a tour for a trip.
First time climbing the Great Wall.
First time riding a trishaw.
First time skiing!
First time tasting blackberries.

This is why updates were pretty much non-existant since the beginning of the month, as I was rushing last minute orders to be shipped out before I fly to China. But hopefully now that I am back, there will be more updates. I'll post photos of the trip once I finish posting the Japan ones hahaha. (I can't believe I still haven't finish these)
