Giant Pandas

On tuesday, after having a cultural morning of seeing a Rembrandt Exhibition in Ueno Park (which I was pleasantly surprised about and really enjoyed), my friend Ali and I decided to head to Ueno zoo and join the crowds of children and tourists to view the giant pandas. They are wonderful animals and quite unreal looking with their big black eyes and baggy bottoms. There were two pandas and, while one looked rather unhappy and that was a bit upsetting to see, the other was thoroughly wallowing in his endless supply of bamboo shoots, lying on his back and letting his big brown stomach hang out!
