Tsukuba

Hey,
On Saturday my family and I went to Tsukuba (tsoo-koo-ba) which is where we used to live when we lived in Japan the first time. It was really different!! We caught a train to Akihabara (a-key-ha-bar-a) and then caught the Tsukuba Express to, well, Tsukuba (Duh). When we got off the train we walked to our old apartment block. It was covered in mesh and scaffolding. My dad thought it was because they were retiling the outside. We walked into the reception but no one was there so we walked out. After we visited an old park called Takezono (ta-ke-zo-no) park. It looked completely different. There used to be a running creek but it looked like it had been paved over. That was a bit disappointing. We decided to walk to my old school, Takezono Yochien (Ta-ke-zo-no Yo-chi-en). It looked almost exactly the same. When we had finished looking at my old school we went to the centre of town to have lunch. When we were finished at the Italian Restrunt we went to a park we used to go to. There was a huge pond full of carp (a type of fish). We bought some food to feed them. After we'd finished with the fish we played at the playground. We decide to get an ice-cream and we walked back to the station and we went home.

Hope you've enjoyed reading,
Chloe

I've got pictures of the carp below


Me and my Bro feeding fish

They're lined up waiting for food


They make this ridiculous noise,
 like someone sluping the last of their milkshake

In some cases, like this one, the fish would swim over each
other to get a tiny piece of food.

  1. Did you feed the fish ice cream? I remember Tsukuba - It was the place at which Chloe gave me a lesson in how to use chopsticks. Scoop
