Nagoya Port, aquarium, dolphines

room post shower - Clear and bright today. Today my host mom took me to Nagoya Port. It was really cool. There isn't a beach really but there is a garden and an aquarium and an amusement park. We had intended to go to the garden and aquarium. Oddly though the garden was closed. My host mom was a bit peeved b/c she had specifically called earlier in the week and asked if it would be open on this day. I didn't really understand the explanation but we had no choice but to do only the aquarium.

Secretly this was fine with me b/c the aquarium is what I really wanted to see. On the way we passed a Red Lobster restaurant. I told my host mom that that restaurant is famous in America. I was really surprised to see it! I wasn't aware it was an international chain.

The aquarium was really cool. I could have spent the whole day there. We ate the lunch my host mom packed and then watched a dolphin show. It was a cool show. They kept showing shots of the audience on the big screen and got me more than once. It was embarrassing being on the big screen like that. All the Japanese seemed to love it though. Everyone else who got put on the screen was waving and carrying on like crazy.

It was a good day and I hope to return to the aquarium again.
