Yesterday's walk turned into magnificent experience

Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan
I am still impressed how beautiful nature is. And, I only saw a sample of it.
We had a day off yesterday, so we decided to do some exploring. We sat on the train and went few stops away. We did some walking by the ocean (it was very windy and cold), so we were thinking where should we go. We were looking on our map... And... We saw a little fish (a sign for Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan). It was close enough so we thought why not. I already did some research on this place, so I new it's one of the biggest aquariums in the world. But, I wasn't sure what to expect. I have never been to any place like this before.
It's amazing what humans can do! They made this huge aquarium (which holds 11 000 tons of water), just for people to see and feel what is life like deep down in Pacific Ocean. There are some weird, cute, pretty and less pretty animals. Most of them I have never seen in my life.
I am still learning how to use my camera, so the photos are not the best ones. :)

The entrance 



The reminded me of penguins in Madagascar movie :)
Seals.. It was feeding time



The biggest and main aquarium.. I don't know if you can see that shark in the middle

 I am kind of scared of deep water. If I can't touch or see the bottom, I get scared something will bite me for my feet. After seeing all of this, I really want to dive and get a close view of all of these creatures. But, at the same time I am terrified to death.

He was really nice and posed for us 

Posing like models :) 

Jellyfish.. Beautiful and scary.. 

How cute is he/she? 

You could pet these ones.. 

We found Nemo! :) 
Nature never stops to surprise us. We just need to pause for the moment and look around us. How actually beautiful our planet is. We take to many things for granted.. 

Hopefully, I convey some of my impressions to you guys. :)

    Wah, that looks so so cool! I love aquariums anyway, but it's been a long time since I've been inside one! :) That's quite the adventure!

      This is my first aquarium ever, so you can imagine how happy I was. :)

3 countries I want to visit

I considered myself the traveler. Few days ago, I was thinking about all the countries I visited so I found online maps where you can check off all the countries you visited. There are many websites you can find, but I used this one   . I started by checking off the countries, and at the end I was able to see the map and some statistics about all my visited countries. When I saw the map and the statistics, I thought "I have seen nothing". I was in 24 countries in 5 continents, which is about 11% of the total number of countries. There are 195 countries in the world. I have some traveling to do. :) I was thinking if I could choose, which three countries I would pick to go to? So here is the list: Belize : This country has been on my dream list for so long. It's located in Central America, bordered by Mexico on the north, and Guatemala on the south and the west. On the east side is the Caribbean sea. It is a small country with population of 387,879 people. They use

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

 After Tunisia in 2015, we moved to Saudi Arabia. Actually, Darko went straight to Arabia, and Nina and I went back to Serbia to get our visas for Arabia. It took us three months to get visas. I don't know how much you know about Saudi Arabia, but this is a very conservative country. There is no tourist visa, and you can only enter this country for work or if your spouse work there, and you are going to visit him/her. It is a very religious country, and it is known as the birthplace of Islam. Both, Meca and Medina are located in the Saudi Arabia. The entire country is run by Sharia law ( it is derived from the religious precepts, the Quran and the Hadith). The country is very rich, since they are very famous for oil producing. They are world's largest oil producer and exporter. The climate is not the best. At least, I didn't like it. It is too dry, too hot, and too much sand. Arabian Desert is dominating in Saudi Arabia's geography, so the dryness, hotness, and the s

Zlin Zoo

 Usually only Sundays are our days off, but this past week we had the entire weekend for family time. We always try to spend this time outside as much as we can, especially, if the weather is good. These past months the weather was really weird. I guess the most of the planet's population felt that way. We didn't have a real spring day until week or so ago. All of a sudden, on past Saturday we woke up, and the weather was really nice. We were discussing what should we do for the day. I remember getting a recommendation for visiting a Zlin Zoo. I did a little research and it really looked nice. But, it was more than nice. It was way above my expectations. I questioned writing a post about this zoo, but I think it deserves its place in here. We left home quite late, so we couldn't stay as long as we wanted, but we definitely had a great time!   Zlin Zoo is located on the eastern side of the country, somewhere between cities Brno and Ostrava. It is second visited zoo in Cz
