On the other end of Golden Week, Thursday, May 5th, we went to the Tama Zoological Park with Aogu's brother Ken and wife Aya. This was our first visit to a zoo since Koji has learned to say more words, and identify animals. Here he is with the elephants. If you wonder about the shape of his mouth, he is shouting, "ZOH!" which is the Japanese word for "elephant". One of his favorite songs is also about elephants. It's a Japanese song, which goes like this:
Zoh-san, zoh-san, ohana ga nagai no ne
So yo, kaasan mo nagai no yo
Zoh-san, zoh-san, dare ga suki nano?
Ano ne, kaasan ga suki nano yo
Approximate translation:
Master Elephant, master Elephant
(I mean "master" in the British sense of salutation for small male creatures),
Your nose is long, isn't it
That's right, and your mother's (nose) is long too
Master Elephant, master Elephant,
Who do you love?
That's right, you love your mother
