mmmm Whale

We made our way back to tokyo then hopped on a Shinkansen (bullet train) to Sendai, its cool seeing the countryside fly past you when your going at around 300km/h. The ride is so smooth as we didnt even notice the train taking off and stop as I was buried into Zelda on my DS and Megan was stuck into her book.

Once there we checked in and took a look around Sendai. We came across a pet store in the middle of the city with cats and dogs crammed into small cages which I very highly doubt they would ever leave. Some of them are a few months old and it made me wonder how long theyve actually been in there. And the price of the animals were crazy, 2k for a friggin dog and 1k for a cat. I know you can get breeds which cost this plus more but ive seen them a hell of alot cheaper in australia.

Under the cat/dog cages they had some Loius Vuitton dog/cat carriers which were closely priced to the same value as the animals. They also had a small Monkey, Porcupines and some other little creatures for sale. We bought astro a little toy to play with :)

Cruised around some more and found a very nice place to eat down in the basement of a shopping mall (which was around 2km+ long, 1km one way, a km the other). We perused the menu and came across Whale Bacon which I had to try as it was one of my goals in coming to japan, to try Whale :P Sneh, tasted like a weird meat. Id like to have a steak or however they cook it over here and truly just its taste.

Bed time, check out the pics for the Thorpedo water Megan found :)
