Monkeys and Fish!

Monkeys and fish, monkeys and fish, the best combination.

Beppu has two really fun attractions that we waited way too long to go to. They have an aquarium on the border of Oita (the big city) and Beppu. There is also a mountain park area that has the cutest little monkeys! Loudest too...

We went right at the right time because it was feeding time! What better time of the day than food time? These monkeys were screaming but went quiet while they ate.

Don't touch the babies, don't traunt/feed or chase them.
Don't look into their eyes. O.O

Yum yum yum yaaaams!

A whole monkey family!

We also visited the aquarium that was right across the road. The name of it is Umitamago. Umi, means ocean. Tamago, means egg. Ocean Egg. Literally. There are many egg shaped things there. It's a small aquarium with many things in it!

"Umitamago!"

 

Massive manta ray in the main tank!

Pretty Jellies

Lunch! ...I mean squid...

When we got back, we went to a cool little restaurant with great food! I haven't felt so stuffed since coming here! It wasn't expensive at all. Maybe the price of a typical dinner in America. They even had a helpful English menu! Sometimes with food names it's difficult, especially with kanji! Thankfully we had a helpful English menu!

Or not... "Shrimp does not..." What.

Tonkatsu, fried pork, the best ever.

 

Enoki mushrooms sauteed in butter. Sooo good.
