Blog#4: Tokyo(Momoko Watanabe)

Hello, this is Momoko Watanabe.  I introduce one day of my summer vacation. I went sightseeing of Tokyo with my friend.  I go university in Tokyo, but there are many sightseeing spots where I have never been.  First, we went to Tsukiji market.  People of market were cheerful, and there were animated place.  I ate a seafood bowl which costs only 1,000 yen.
It was very delicious! I was moved because I was able to bit off a squid easily! That was the first time I had ever seen such a transparent squid.  I knew clearly that fresh seafood are more delicious than seafood which I usually eat.  We wanted to try out various foods, for example, sushi, a tamagoyaki, and a whale cutlet.  Because the amount of seabowl was large, we couldn't eat another thing.  Next, we went to the Ueno zoo.  We looked forward to seeing pandas, however they got tired from the summer heat.  We saw all animals from end to end of the zoo.  The animal left big impression on me was Heterocephalus glaber(ハダカデバネズミ). 


They live in underground nest like ants.  A state which sleeping heterocephalus glaber gathered was a little grotesque.  Also, we were able to contact with many animals, for instance, goats, pigs, and sheep.
Eating delicious seafood and healed with pretty animals, we were able to have a nice time.  Next time of Tokyo sightseeing, I want to go to Kabukiza and Asakusa.
