Shinagawa Aquarium

The Underwater tunnel at the Shinagawa Aquarium.

As many of you know, I am a big fan of aquariums. a HUGE fan. In fact, I used to go once a week with the boyfriend (Tom of tommyvon.net) to visit some of my favorite sea creatures such as myrtle the turtle. So imagine my dismay, as I had not been to an aquarium in almost a month! Today I remedied this with my friends Alyssa and John and headed over to the Shinagawa Aquarium. While the aquarium is small compared to the Boston aquarium, there are some amazing things to see. I watched a dolphin show as well as viewed some of the largest sharks I've ever seen in real life. The kicker though, was the above pictured underwater tunnel. all i can say is SEGOI! there were sea turtles, sting rays, fish swimming everywhere. I went through twice. There are other aquariums here in Tokyo that I want to go to, but I will probably visit this one again soon.

Other than that, things are going really well. Ive been getting pretty good grades with some effort, and Golden week started this weekend, so my trip to Nikko is coming up! (as in.. we leave in 36 hours) So get ready for some amazing pictures of onsens, waterfalls, and volcanoes... oh yeah. life is good.
