Kuromon Market + Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan

Day 11 of our long holiday. Today's schedule was a bit loose cause we have already visited most of the places we were supposed to visit today. We're just gonna head to 2 places today, first stop, Kuromon Market aka the Black Market.

The market itself is just located at a 15mins walk away from our hotel. It's a morning market where they sell fresh vegetables, some kitchen-ware, simple clothing, shoes, medicines and etc.. stuff where u usually can find in a market larr..

I'm not one of those market kind of person (if u get what I mean) so I wasn't really jumping up and down when we got here, but that will be another whole different story for my mom and my aunty.. they were thrill to be here!!

one cute toy poddle.. aaaawwwwwww... busy shopping around with its owner ;o)

the pomegranates sold here was damn good!! bought a few back to our hotel and enjoyed and YES, it was delicious..~~

The Japanese just have to win over everything.. even the vege are much more bigger size den ours ;o)

Talking about being economical and fresh-ness ehh.. but it doesn't really come cheap either, 100Yen = RM4

Recognize wat's this??!!

Yes!! altho I don't remember wat it's called but I remember clearly it was Nobita + Doraemon's favourite food in the comic ;oP See the gei po me trying to act smart lorr.. telling ppl the tales of Doraemon.. haha..

Fresh uncut Wasabi~~~~

Fresh Seafood~~ aaarrrggghh~~ I know a few ppl will probably be shouting seeing those big crabs ;oP

Mommy was really starting to enjoy it here, keep on sayin, "we'll come back here again later on.. there is a lot of things I wanna buy!"

Upon entering the aquarium.

The tour around the Pacific Ocean starts from this tunnel-shaped tank, 11 meters long in total. U can spot Cownose ray, Foxface and Damselfishes here..

Time to go see the scariest thing on earth.. sharky sharky... eeeuuu~~~

Fishes living in the open jungle~~

We were waiting for groups and groups of students to pass us first before continuing on. Hate being stuck with too many ppl, u can't see things~

Random pictures taken in the aquarium. My dad took at least 500 pics in there so I can't really afford to post ALL of it. If u would really like to see those weird fishes, come by to my house la and I'll show u the pictures ;oP

Me and couz Jess at the souvenir store

Sightseeing Sailing Ship, Santa Maria.

The Columbus' sailing ship, Santa Maria, is reproduced twice as large as the original one. You can enjoy Osaka Bay cruise feeling the fresh sea breeze riding this baby~

But we didn't ride it la.. won't be nice to get sea sick rite? ;oP
