We went to the port today and visited Osaka aquarium. It was pretty busy since it is still holidays but it was a well stocked aquarium with a number of land animals as well as the basic fishies. They also had a large tiger shark but I suspect it gets bored in the tank although it is a pretty big tank. What is good is the design starts at the top and you follow a large spiral downwards so that you don't miss anything. My favourite part was probably the jellyfish, some of which are extremely unusual and colourful. There were also these small molluscs which have little disco lights on them which was cool, not sure how they work but I guess we could scale up the technology and make energy efficient lighting, they certainly didn't need any AA batteries to keep them running! We also got to go on a ferris wheel which is slightly smaller than the London eye but pretty tall nonetheless. You can basically see the whole Kansai plain from the top for only 700 Yen (£5). We had another Maccie D's, I always think it is funny that Big Mac in Japanese is Biga Maccer and is written in Katakana. They could just have easily written Big Mac in English since it is actually the same word!
