Those people who wore mask were sick with cold or cough. It is to prevent bacteria or virus spread to other people. I wish Filipino people are like that as we are known to be brutal in public sneezing and coughing without covering our nose or mouth!

The Ueno Zoo 1.

I forgot what these are called but they look like pigs from hell. Look at the horn.

Lovely sleeping owl!

Resting lion.

There were also sea lions! Oh so adorable.

They loved sun bathing.

A Polar bear. She didn’t want to face people! Taray.

OMGGG!! A real panda!! OMG soo cute I’m gonna die!

She’s eating a bamboo grass!

We have to ride a monorail going to the other part of the zoo. While I was waiting for Josh to figure out on how to get tickets, I noticed there were lots of kids around. I loved them!

A Kangaroo who doesn’t want to face the people. Taruj.

Flamingos! Josh said the reason they are pink is because they eat shrimp a lot. Silly trivia which isn’t true.

A huge hippopotamus! She was born 1983!

Giraffes.

A real fat tree.

Jackass Penguins.

Once again, a nice beautiful view in Ueno.

I was freezing cold but this girl in skirt and pantyhose wasn’t

I enjoyed wandering around Ueno Park and Zoo. It was indeed a beautiful affair not just with cherry blossoms but with unique norms and practices in Japan.
