Diary Entry: My Day at the Aquarium

Today, I visited the aquarium in Osaka with my cousin, Hana. We arrived at 10 a.m., and the place was already crowded. The aquarium had big tanks with colorful fish, sharks, and even penguins! My favorite was the jellyfish tank because they glowed in the dark. We watched a dolphin show at noon, and the dolphins jumped high out of the water. For lunch, we ate sushi at the aquarium’s café, which was funny because we were surrounded by fish. After lunch, we walked through a tunnel where fish swam above us. It felt like being under the sea. I bought a small penguin toy at the gift shop. It was a tiring but exciting day!
