We went to one of the many aquariums in the Tokyo area on the weekend. This one was only 30 minutes away from where we are staying and in the middle of some large hotels and shopping centers. Once inside the aquarium it was easy to forget that you were in the middle of this huge city.
There were dolphin and seal shows in huge auditoriums and a walk through arch full of sting rays and sharks. The pengiums were a favourite with huge Perspex windows to see them swimming around underwater. There were also tanks full of fish and jelly fish.
When the dolphin show finished they ushered in a wedding party with the bride and groom getting married on the edge of the dolphin pool. Of course the dolphins jumped and clapped to celebrate the wedding as well as “singing” congratulatory songs to the bride and groom.
It was amazing to hear the bride go down the “aisle” to the first verse of Kylie Minogue’s Locomotion and even stranger to hear the first verse of Cyndi Lauper’s Manic Monday as the tune chosen to leave as man and wife.
