Day 44 : Valentines Day



Today is Valentines Day, so me and Holly went to the Aquarium that is just down the street from our apartment, looks like this was a popular choice with the couples of Osaka. It was quite busy, however it was still possible to sit and watch the variety of marine life htey had there. The Aquarium here in Osaka is the largest in Asia and the highlight is one huge tank that is several stories tall that people circle around and through from the top of the Aquarium to the bottom. In the tank they had all kinds of marine life, but the biggest was the Whale Shark and the Giant Manta Ray.

I found the Jellyfish section to be the best, its strange how such things can exist as they dont seem to be made up of anything other than water. I know humans are mostly water, but we do have a brain and other organs, these just seem to be nothing but a jelly substance. Very Bizarre and very cool at the same time. Would love to have a Jellyfish Aquarium in the home someday, Im sure its reall hard to setup and maintain though.

A good Karl Pilkington Quote comes to mind

"Why not just turn the other 3% of a Jellyfish into water and make it more usefull"
