Trip to the Churaumi Aquarium

On Sunday Nobuto (my oldest brother) took me with his English speaking friend to the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Nago City. The aquarium is the biggest in all of Asia. The building was big and the fish were colorful. We even went to the dolphin show. The show was amazing up until a dolphin unexpectedly jumped out of the tank and seriously hurt itself. It was the first time it had ever happened. I was very sad.  Here's a link to the aquarium in English:

  1. Aww. Did the dolphin die? I hope not. Judging from the picture, he had to have jumped or flopped over a fairly large plexiglass partition. So sad.
