Aomori Aquarium Field Trip

Ethan's 5th Grade Field trip to the Amushi Aquarium

Ethan and his good friend Airic. He can read Japanese, which comes in handy when you can't;)

The first popcorn vending machine I've ever seen,

 and it was so cute with Hello Kitty.

The boy in our group really didn't want me to take his picture, 

but was kind enough to pose with his bag of popcorn.

This starts it's life as a fish, then plants itself in a rock or something for the rest of it.  They eat them here in Japan, but I'm told is't an acquired taste even for the Japanese.  They also told me if you like saki, you usually like this fish.

It was fun getting the mussels to squirt water at us.
