Today is another free day and I don’t know
actually what to do today. I decided to head to Ueno Zoo since several of my
classmates have already been and said that the zoo was a really nice place to
go.I set out to the train station to get on Ginza
Line to head to Ueno Station. Arriving at Ueno station I headed straight to the
zoo and because of the Grutt pass I was able to go for free. As soon as I got
in I went straight to the Panda’s. This is the first time I actually saw a
Panda and it was really nice to see. What I really wanted to see was the
gorillas and polar bears. I quickly saw the lion and the tiger and headed
straight to the gorilla. Once I got there the gorilla, it was hiding behind a big
piece of wood and would not come out. So my thrill and excitement to see the
gorilla quickly diminished. I headed straight to the polar bear but before
arriving saw some bats which were actually eating at the time so that was
pretty cool. Once I arrived at the polar bear exhibit I was really excited
because the polar bear was actually very active. I got some great footage of
the polar bear swimming and actually playing with some toys. The size of the
polar bear actually astonished me because you really didn’t see how big it was
until you saw it in person. After the polar bear I followed the path to the
elephant exhibit which was pretty nice. I circled back
after the elephants to see if the gorilla came out of hiding and saw that it
was still hiding. I left the zoo thinking I saw mostly everything only
returning and my class mates told me that I missed an entire exhibit of
reptiles which was disappointing but my trip was still pretty exciting.
