Day trip to Aomori


During the Aomori Nebuta Festival, we went back to Aomori for a day trip. Nebuta Festival is a famous summer festival that bring thousands of tourists flocking to Aomori. It is 1 of 3 great fire festivals in Tohoku Region. Usually its held in early august and all prices hike up e.g hotels, air tickets.... However this time we did not went specifically to watch it since we had seen it already. Instead we went to aquarium and just hang around. I had been to the aquarium several times and most enjoyable part was watching dolphins and cute sea lions. I also found penguins in Japan much active than in Singapore! Singapore Zoo penguins usually just stand there like a statue or when it finally move and looks like its gonna take a swim... It will change its mind again and continue standing and staring in space. In comparison to penguins in Japan kept swimming and have lots of movement. I wonder why?
