Aquarium +sunshine60

Today i decided to go back to Ikibukaro as i hardly saw it when i was with E+C the first week i visted. I wanted to go to the aquarium but i slept in, so i rushed out and after getting a little lost i found the aquarium. To be fair tho the place it was in was called Sunshine City and yeh basically its a mini city of shops and resurants, spanning 5 huge buildings one of which is 60 floors high, hence the name 'sunshine 60' the 58-59th floors offer amazing skyview restaurants but with meals starting at around £40-50 i decided to give that a miss and pay £8 for a ticket to the top floor which also included entry to the aquarium. So after about an hour of looking for is, asking a total of 4 people in Japanese and maybe spending a little money in the shops ;) i got to check out some fishiees.

But before i forget i visted the Toyota Auto Salon which was just across the road from sunshine city so i thought i would take a quick peep, and also maybe make rick jellous just to say i had been. I was not expecting much but the first car that met my eyes was a AE86 build to an almost identical spec as Takumi from the Initial D series, which i love. I was amazing and loving it. I have seen these before at car shows but nothing as clean and tidy as this. Just WOW, if anyone else reads this blog then ill let the pictures describe how awsome this imformous car is. If you think it looks like a crappy old car, just take some time in your life to watch Inital D, then look at the photos again and i bet your idea of the car will change.





















Its been ages since i went to an aquarium and i forgot just how amazing it is. You see some truely crazy creatures some of which are just so out of this world its like looking at aliens. The octopus freeked me out the most and as i looked at it i just thought to myself, iv eaten you, and god you were nice in those little puff fried balls (that came out wrong!)









this made me laugh so much pressed on the glass














really enjoyed these jellies shots




they even had a few amphibians and reptiles






After visiting the aquarium i check out the restaurants on the 58-59 then had to take the lift back down, only to go to the 60th in a different elevator! a special one that went dark and all light up when u climbed oooooooh, these shots are much like the ones i took from Tokyo Tower but after having the camera 2weeks im a little better at working the baby so some of these look a bit better than the night shots from tokyo tower.


this photo might be a bit misleading, when you see some city shots all lite up they are usually longer exposures to let more of the light in, this is NOT. its shot at 1/30th at F1.7 with ISO at 400


At parts of the room on the 60th floor some of the windows go down to the bottom of your feet so you can look out better, i looked down and nearly let one go in my pants, i was so scared not to fond of heights. looking back at this just reminds me of how bad it made me feel looking down.
