Osaka Zoo

My Dad's been in Japan for the last two and a half weeks, so for his first weekend I met him in Osaka.
Tennoji Zoo was a 10 minute walk from our hotel, so we decided to go check it out. It was actually surprisingly big and most of the major animal species were represented (although we couldn't find the hippo they claimed existed - how does something that big hide?) It was also really cheap - I think only 500 yen ($5).
After the zoo, we went to several different places in the last couple of weeks, including Nagasaki, Kyoto, Himeji, and Tottori, and I will have posts about them soon.
However our adventures together have finished, as Dad left for Tokyo this morning and flies back to Vancouver on Tuesday.
