We made our way to the zoo. Most of us took many pictures in front of the zoo before making our way in. We made our way to the savannah section where animals like lions, zebras, giraffe and etc are in. Most of the time the animals had their butts facing us. We saw different variety of animals from small ones like birds to big animals like lions, jaguar and tigers. We spend around 1hour at the place. Although it was a short time and we did not have enough time to see all the animals, we enjoyed the experience at the zoo.
After visiting the zoo, we were told to settle our lunch before gathering back at the entrance of the zoo.We went to get some takoyaki at the street right in front of the zoo called Shinsekai.
All of us have not gotten any takoyaki since the day we reached Japan.
Everyone was excited when we knew that there was a takoyaki shop in the street.
Almost all of us bought a box of takoyaki. Most of us got sick of the takoyaki after finishing a box of it. After we gathered back at the entrance of the zoo, we made our way back to the subway station to proceed to our next destination, Tenjinbashisuji-6 station.
We went to the museum which is on top of the station.
In the museum, we were able to experience Japan in the olden days. We were allowed into a room with buildings build to resemble those of the olden Japan. There is an area where visitors can dress up in the traditional Japanese costumes. Some of us dressed up in the traditional Japanese costumes and took pictures as we walk around the area.
After visiting the museum, we went to a shopping district near the nipponbashi station. There is a big electronic shop in the area. The place is flooded with people walking from different directions.After reaching deciding where to gather later, we set off in different groups again. There were many shops in the area and a lot of us bought many things there.
After shopping, we were told that we could enjoy the beautiful festive decorations along the road.
The sun was down and the wind was blowing.
The road was filled with many people from different parts of Japan, all wanting to see the decorations in the area. Police and barricades were deployed in the area to control the crowd. Once we were given time to walk around by ourselves, we started to tour the place. Not before long, all of us met up again and decided to find a place that we could be sheltered and not face the chilly wind. We decided to hide in the subway station nearby.
We counted the strength of the people present and had to find the other members before we could gather back at the place. We spent around 10 to 15 mins in the subway before we start to move to the meeting place. On our way to the meeting place, everyone was rushing as the wind is blowing at us. We immediately head back to the hotel through to our hotel.
On our way back, it was during the peak hour. Most of the adults were all wanting to get back home through the subway. There were so many people that some of us had to squeeze into the 2nd train to get to another area. It was so packed that there is no effort needed to get out. Everyone else was pushing and we got out easily. After we got back to moriguchi station and to our hotel, we had our dinner and prepared for the next day.
