Asahikawa Zoo

aching all over now.... trying my best... hope everything goes well...

well... here are my long awaited photos of my trip to the asahikawa zoo, hokkaido... we took 1.5hrs of train ride and then 40mins of a bumpy bus ride, before reaching the zoo. we were there about 15mins before the opening time and there was already a long queue of people waiting outside the zoo to go in...

the highlight of the zoo, the main reason why i made the freaking trip out and into the freaking cold... -7 degrees!!!, was..... the emperor penguins!!! the most exciting part was where the penguins were let out of their enclosure for a walk round the zoo. this only happens in winter and only when there is enough accumulated snow, to let the penguins get some exercise... we were very very close up to them... just abt an arm's length away...

here's some of the photos that i took...
