I Cut the Day Short

May 24: I woke up early and eager to start my day off on a good foot. The day prior I wasn't able to see much because attractions and museums around Tokyo close at 5 pm. Bummer... My roommates and I came up with a plan to map out every place we wanted to visit for the entire day. The list was as follows first Uneno Zoo, then Imperial Palace, last the Aquarium, and after that the rest of the day was unplanned free time to explore and shop for more souvenirs. First leg of the trip was Uneno Zoo. The Zoo is known for the Panda Bear exhibit. The locals were surrounding the Panda Bear cage to see the lovely animals. Overall the zoo was relatively small but then again Japan is known for taking something large and minimizing it. As the day continued, I didn't plan for the weather to be sooo hot and humid. I didn't dress for the weather and I had extra belongings to carry as I walked around. My back,neck, and joints started to slowly hurt as we continued to walk around the Zoo. I couldn't bare the discomfort any longer so I cut my day trip short and headed back to the hostel. Hopefully, I can get some rest and relaxation.
