Exploring Higashiyama Zoo

Handsome penguin

May 2nd - 2009

This week is one of the most waited week in Japan, the Golden Week. This is the time that everyone can enjoy a long public holiday. Most Japanese will use this opportunity to enjoy the holiday abroad, but still crowded also even in Japan too. Most of the hotels will be fully booked and it is impossible to get within a last minute decision.
Well, we just decided not going far at all...our 1st target just the usual zoo near our house. hahaha..This time we explored a new route in the zoo. 1st we went to the amusement area inside the zoo and went up into the ferris wheel. This is the first time for my kids to experience the ride. It's a small size of a ferris wheel but still good enough to enjoy the view.
Then we went into the medaka(Japanese killifish) hall. Eiqmal really enjoyed viewing the small fishes. Just before we went back home, we drop by at the koala's and my kids take a rest beside the lake and enjoy viewing peoples riding the "swan" and boats while i rush back home to take our car and pick them home. ( due to our apartment is quite near and it is difficult to get a parking nearby the zoo i always drop them at the zoo and park the car at our parking at the apartment.)
