I'm going to the 動物園 動物園 動物園。。。not as catchy in japanese ?

---

I love zoos and this is a pretty good one! Ueno zoo in the huge Ueno park! When i last visited it was november and the weather was not great so the zoo was pretty empty, not so this time round there were more tiny kids in little coloured hats than i have ever seen before ? it was total carnage! The animals are presumably used to it having the screaming masses come charging around shouting kawaii in high pitched voices!! Loved every second of it tho i got jumped by 3 or 4 groups of school kids to get my picture taken and fill in the "meet a foreigner" sheet, AWESOME! I did have to buy a second umbrella tho as it rained a bit ? got lots of pictures tho! I'll do another post with the rest before this turns into a boring neighbours holiday slideshow comedy scenario!

'Um....birds' are 'lovebirds'! Love the bear - did you have to ring the bear safety bell?
