Recently I went to Vogel Park in Matsue. For those of you who didn't realize it, Vogel is German for bird. I don't know why they chose the German word for bird over the English word but that is what they did. Confusing. I wish they would pick one language to rip off that way we wouldn't get mixed up. Todd, Heidi, ChauChau (a Chinese girl who recently moved to Shimane with her mother) and I went to the park over the long weekend. It was a good time. We learned that there are African Penguins. We thought it was cruel treatment to k
eep the penguins in this warm area with all the tropical plants but as it turns out that is the kind of climate that they like! Also, we were able to feed the birds. We paid 100 yen to hold this cup of fruit and other delicious things birds like and they would land on our arms and eat out of the cup. As a person who is a huge fan of animals, it was coooooool! There were also all these beautiful flowers there. It was nice to see so much color and life during the winter. So I took a ton of pictures. Enjoy!
