Let's go to the Tokyo National Museum -- Again!!

Friday was the first day we had off for the school festival, so I decided to show Eric and Margaret my most favorite place in the world -- the Tokyo National Museum! I love this place so much; it's basically the Metropolitan Museum of Art of Japan, in my opinion, and you definitely can't see it all in one day. Since the pieces on display rotate every few months and admission for college students is only about $5, I plan on coming here quite often!

Tokyo Adventures

On Saturday, Inga and I decided to try to tackle the Ueno Zoo and Tokyo National Museum. Being the ambitious, SMART planners we are, we decided to hit the zoo around noon on the hottest day of the week. But it's okay because we saw a billion animals... including PANDAS!

What, you've never seen a black and white before?

And I know it looks like the panda enclosure is TERRIBLE from the picture, but I promise that that's just the inside part and also only a REALLY small bit of the inside. It was a terribly hot day so they were (understandably) keeping the pandas in the air conditioned spaces -- regardless, they seemed really happy and active!
