Aquarium and Okonomiyaki

Tom and I decided to check out the aquarium today. I love aquariums and have been to many in various cities, Melbourne/Sydney/Shanghai/Lisboa. This one claims to have the largest tank in the world housing a whale shark! Simply irresistible.
I was impressed by the set ups and was especially enthralled by the jelly fish wing. They were so beautiful in the light, like living lava lamps.

This ray was nearly as big as the whale shark, they were in the same tank separated by a big net. Imagine if they fought. Who'd win?

This sloth was actually very quick on his feet, he climbed all over the tank and I had trouble keeping up!

Tom had to go to work, while I stayed for a little longer chillin with the fishes. When I caught up with him next he tells me that he had quit his job. His good mate Eddie got fired yesterday and the managements bad treatment of staff has made him put his foot down and leave too. Good news is that we get to go out and about more, bad news is that we'll have to vacate his apartment as it's linked with his work. So we'll see how it all pans out. In the meantime we went and had amazing Osaka Okonomiyaki.
