Hey good morning everyone!
I want to welcome you to a very sad day,
that's why it's crying out right now,
it's raining out,
because today is my last full day here in Japan.
We're going to be going to the Tokyo zoo to start out the day,
and then we'll see what happens from there.
but I'm going to let you go, we're just about to grab the subway.
It was 600 Japanese yen per person to get in,
so just over $6 Canadian,
so that's a steal of a deal for a zoo, especially of a zoo of this magnitude.
They have some pandas that we're going to go see,
of course that's the main attraction of any Asian Zoo.
I did happen to see some pandas in the Toronto Zoo, in Canada one year, when they had a traveling exhibit of the pandas.
Oh wow.
It was neat seeing them there, so I'm looking forward to seeing them here,
and of course, all the other animals are just as cool,
it may be to a lesser degree they're hyped up,
but you know, any animal's a cool animal.
And of course I love seeing her around the animals, she just loves them so much.
Which is awesome!
It just brings a smile to my face anyway.
So we're looking looking forward to that,
and seeing exactly what the zoo has to offer!
In today's video I thought we would change things up a bit.
Instead of the standard "here are some animals at a zoo" sort of video,
I thought we would tap into Akane's brain and learn some Japanese.
From time to time, you may notice we don't know the names of the animals.
Many of the exotic creatures at the zoo were very hard to figure out.
So if you happen to know any of the names of the animals that are unidentified, please leave the names in the comments.
Holy, look at the size of these birds!
They're pelicans or storks, I don't know, but they're some of the biggest ones I've ever seen.
So they're pelicans, great white pelicans.
These things are monstrous! Holy!

Look at this small little bugger.
That smallest goose I've ever seen.
The smallest Canada goose I've ever seen anyway.
Penguin: Pengin
We're going to have to get Catherine to say what kind of penguin this is.
Really?
It's the official name?
I guess so!
Who named?
I don't know!
They seem pretty nice to me, considering they are holding hands.

Oh it's so cute!
You cute.
I've never heard of this one before.
Yeah, because we have.
What are you staring at?
Me!
Ah, maybe the Meerkat.
Oh!
Do you want to hunt a Meerkat?
Yup, he's all about those Meerkat's over here.
Or the children.
Does he want to eat the Meerkat or the children?
Me!
Armadillo: Arumajiro

Akane has been able to get a hot coffee from the vending machine.
This is hot coco!
Hot chocolate.
For you!
Oh!
Hot, hot, hot, hot!
Thank you.
These type of vending machines are actually everywhere.
They are on the sides of the road, they're in remote villages, they're in places where you never would have ever think of finding a vending machine.
These are here.
It costs $1.20 to get this, so it's cheaper than going to Tim Hortons or a restaurant, or other fast food place,
anyway these are very Japanese.
Akane says she's never found them in any other country she's ever traveled to,
because she's traveled to more countries than I have,
but it's yeah, it's neat.
You choose what you want, add your cream and your sugar, and bam! There you go.
It makes it for you right there.
Alright everyone, well we spent 4 hours at the zoo, but you know what the saddest part is?
So the zoo does off divide into a big section and the small section.
We only saw the small section.
It's unreal.
There's a lot to see and I think the thing for me
is that there are so many unique animals that I've never seen before here,
like it's unreal the amount of new animals that I've seen,
and I think it makes me not want to move on because I want to look at them, and check them out.
I think the bigger section has some of your bigger game animals like lions and tigers and stuff like that,
where the smaller section has some of like - we're just in a nocturnal section.
I tried for the life of me to get some video of that, but it's way too dark, so I apologize for that,
but there are so many different animals. It's super cool.
Definitely recommend coming here, and that being said, make sure you book an entire day like from start to finish.
We got here at 1 pm and it's now 4:50 pm and yeah, we only saw the small section.
It blows my mind a little bit, because I mean, I've spent a bunch of times in zoos and in aquariums,
and I know how long they take.
I was way off thinking that we had enough time to do everything here today.
Just make sure you give yourself lots of time if you're coming here,
and we didn't see any Panda's.
We didn't get the chance to see the pandas.
There was like a half hour or more wait to get in line,
that's over in the big section as well,
we never even made it over to that section,
so unfortunately no pandas for you guys today, no pandas for us today, but it was definitely well worth coming.
So with that, I'm going to say thank you so much for watching!
I hope you enjoyed it.
If you did, the best way to let me know is leave a comment or hit that like button.
If you're new to channel, I would like to say welcome, I hope you subscribe.
Unfortunately, this is my last full day in Japan,
so the amount of Japan videos are coming to a very quick end,
but that being said,
we are always moving on to the next adventure!
So I hope to see each and every one of you in the next video.
