The zoo

So, Wednesday afternoon we went to Ueno Zoo. It was realy cold - in the moist country as Japan +9 degrees Celsius feels like at least 10 degrees less than it actually is. But we enjoyed it a lot. This is the main entrance:





As you can see, somewhere in the background are the ticket machines. Actually, in Japan the ticket machines are pretty popular, even in restaurants, especially at the eat-all-you-can types. So, the visitors/customers choose a needed type of a ticket, and then it will be controlled and checked by the staff.

Probably it would be boring to show you all the animals in the zoo, most of them you all can find in any European zoo, therefore, here's the main attraction:




They are even cuter in real life!! Anyways, the panda is a national symbol, and you'll be able to find something panda-like in every souvenir shop. Which there were tens of around the zoo:
