On the second day I went to Osaka Aquarium KAIYUKAN and Deer Park in Nara. Osaka Aquarium is a nice way to spend around half a day in. There were a bunch of animals I’ve never seen before including a whale shark, Japanese crab, some gigantic fish, and other animals. There was a big shopping center next to the aquarium that included an arcade where I won my first UFO crane game prize in Japan. There were a lot of things to buy in the shopping center and worth checking out. After the aquarium I took the train to Deer Park which is actually full of deer, both male and female. The deer just roam around in the park and eat grass if some person, like me, doesn’t feed them. It was really cool feeding the deer, although they can be a bit aggressive so I suggest people who feed them be at least 5′6″; for I am 5′9″ and those deer horns went up to my lower chest where they prodded me lol. It was interesting being harassed by deer, for I just pulled out my wallet to get 150 yen for some deer food when they swarmed me and started poking me lol, not an experience I will soon forget. They are really tame and won’t tackle you based on my experience and once I showed them I had no food left they left me lol, talk about eat and run. There are a few pagodas and temples around the area so its nice to walk around before you head back home/hotel.
I also visited Namba in the morning, nothing happens in the morning lol, got to see some gigantic seafood though


This was pretty lol, a manhole cover so nicely decorated

Not some section in a bookstore like in America, the manga here covers wall to wall; games as well


I picked up the delicious melon pan at a bakery before we went to the aquarium. It was huge and it actually tasted like a melon and was delicious. The top had sugar baked right on top of it and had a nice color to it, now I know why Shana really loves it so much ^^.

The Osaka Aquarium

A bunch of water related animals including….duh…duh…dadah a whale shark










The next few pics are in the shopping center, the one right below is a ninja shop…a ninja shop ^-^. So of course they had a bunch of Naruto stuff but they also had katana’s, throwing starts, ninja wear, and more. There was even a ninja star throwing area where you can throw a few ninja stars for 300 yen

This is cool and unexpected, Nodame’s bag actually exists ^-^. I would have so got one if I was a girl lol.

I won this little guy at the arcade, kawaii

Pagoda’s and temples are in the Deer Park, not something to miss out on


Those funny harassing deer lol


Here I am feeding the deer, kawaii

This is what comes out of the deer and you can buy and eat it lol

I can only dream, but one day I shall be there!
My dream was also to go to Japan that has now been realized. Be sure to post about Japan when you go and tell me about it ^-^
Nice pics. Looks like you had a nice time.
It was fun, something that I will want to do again ^-^.
