One fish Two fish Red fish Blue fish!

Jellyfish at the Osaka Aquarium.

One of the worlds tallest Ferris Wheels in Osaka.
Saturday, I visited the largest city I've been too since I've come to Japan. Osaka is not the place for the claustrophobic; there is no shortage of people.  It was fun seeing all the different shops, and there were plenty, but our main intention in going to Osaka was the aquarium. As my roommate put it, it was probably the most touristy thing, outside of temples, that we've seen. It was also one of the most fun. I love aquariums and this one was huge! It didn't just have fish but animals too. You start by riding an extremely steep escalator to the top of the building and then work your way down.  My favorite was the penguins that darted through the water. While I didn't take them up on the offer, after seeing the octopus you could go buy some to eat. After going through the one of worlds largest aquariums we rode one of the worlds largest Ferris wheels. It was very cool to see the city all lit up at night. All in all it was a good touristy day.
