We are in Osaka now. We didn't make it to the aquarium today... save for another day, but we did go to the Ethnology Museum. Mom really really liked it. There is so much stuff crammed in that place, you could spend years there. It is also a research institute... We have tons of pics. There was info about all different cultures. Ainu, Indian, Balinesian, Japanese, Korean, French gypsies, Peruvian farmers, yadda yadda.... you name it.. and it was very inclusive... housing, music, clothing, costumes, transportation... oh my!! If Gram had travelled the world, this museum housed all of what she would have collected along the way and stored in her bag to bring home to examine later!  : ) We must have seen 3000 hats and 2500 pairs of shoes, all assembled on a single floor.
