πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅-2-4-1

Tokyo

Imperial Palace

In fact, you can’t enter the Imperial Palace, you can only see the back garden

Edo Castle, Ninomaru Garden

It is still late March, so only a part of the cherry blossoms 🌸 have bloomed
There are also oranges 🍊 mixed in the middle…

Small bridge and flowing water, people’s homes
There is a pavilion in the middle selling water and snacks, souvenirs

Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art

National Museum of Nature and Science

Early bicycles 🚴, like acrobatics
A huge diamond πŸ’Ž
Shinkansen πŸš„ wheels
Pretending to be multi-dimensional
A spinning carousel that doesn’t make you dizzy

In the evening πŸŒƒ, on the way back, I passed by the mall and saw many Maneki-neko 🐱
My colleagues who opened a company really wanted me to bring one back

When I returned to the hotel, I found bottled water shaped like the Tokyo Skytree
Bought an ο£Ώ pencil
And a limited edition cherry blossom 🌸 flavored cola πŸ˜‚
Much more normal than the cherry πŸ’ flavor that the stock god likes

National Museum of Science

Saw many dinosaur πŸ¦• fossils that I used to see in β€œOne Hundred Thousand Whys”
Among them, my favorites are:

Tyrannosaurus rex πŸ¦–

Tyrannosaurus rex, also known as the Tyrant King, is the only valid species in the Tyrannosaurus genus. It is a giant theropod dinosaur belonging to the Tyrannosauridae family. Its Latin name means β€œtyrant lizard”. Its estimated length can reach 13 meters [1], with a hip height of about 4 meters [2], and an average weight of about 9 tons… Its bite force is nearly 6 tons, equivalent to the weight of an elephant [3].

Triceratops

Triceratops, commonly known as the Triceratops or Three-horned Face, is a genus of herbivorous dinosaur in the ceratopsid family of ornithischian dinosaurs. Triceratops is medium-sized, quadrupedal, and is approximately 7 to 10 meters long… It is one of the last dinosaur species to appear, as well as the largest and last ceratopsid dinosaur, dominating the majority of terrestrial ecosystems on Earth in the late Mesozoic Era.

Stegosaurus

Stegosaurus is one of the most frequently mentioned dinosaurs in books, comics, and movies. It is a very famous representative of herbivorous dinosaurs; however, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex, and Triceratops did not coexist (Stegosaurus existed in the Jurassic period, while Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops existed in the Cretaceous period). Stegosaurus’ main enemies were Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, and Carnotaurus.

Trilobite

The earliest appearance of trilobites was in the Cambrian period, and they reached their peak in the early Paleozoic era, gradually declining to extinction. The latest trilobites (Order Proetida) disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period, around 250 million years ago.

There are also whales 🐳
Evolutionary history of elephants 🐘

Human Hall

In this river of time, I feel the difficulties of human evolution
The replica of β€œlucky” in the textbook is right in front of my eyes, only about one meter tall
Living in houses made of bones
By the time the old humans were taller than me

Today, all humans belong to a single group: Homo sapiens sapiens, and there is no species barrier. However, according to the β€œout of Africa” model, this is not the first species of Homo: the first species of Homo, Homo habilis, evolved at least two million years ago, and Homo erectus evolved more than 1.8 million years ago and spread to various parts of the Old World by 1.5 million years ago.

Red Giants

Combined with the giant diamond πŸ’Ž just now, it involves the question of whether to buy a diamond ring
It is well known that

Carbon has three known allotropes: diamond, graphite, and fullerenes. Thermodynamically, diamond is less stable than graphite and can spontaneously transform into graphite, but this transformation is very slow at room temperature and pressure and can be ignored. Therefore, diamonds πŸ’Ž can exist stably. Naturally formed diamonds generally form in high-temperature and high-pressure environments deep within the Earth and are later brought to the surface by geological processes such as volcanic eruptions, so many diamonds are found near volcanoes. Modern industry can produce diamonds under high temperature and pressure, called synthetic diamonds.

So diamond rings have no other use except for showing off 🦚
Not to mention that if they are placed under the magnifying glass of the sun 🌞, they will evaporate

As for precious metals like gold and platinum

Gold has a higher atomic number among the naturally occurring elements in the universe. It is believed that these heavy elements were produced during the synthesis of supernova nuclei when two neutron stars collided, [4] and they already existed in the dust before the formation of the solar system. Since the Earth was in a molten state at the beginning of its formation, most of the gold on early Earth sank into the Earth’s core. Therefore, most of the gold in the Earth’s crust and mantle is due to the late late heavy bombardment period (about 4 billion years ago) caused by asteroid impact. Gold was widely popular as a precious metal for currency, store of value, jewelry, and artwork before recorded history. In both domestic and international practices, a gold-based gold standard currency system was commonly implemented, but gold coins stopped circulating in the 1930s. In the 1970s, with the end of the Bretton Woods Agreement, the gold standard system in the world finally gave way to the fiat currency system. However, due to its rarity, ease of smelting, processing, and coinage, unique color, corrosion resistance, and resistance to reaction with other substances, the value of gold has not decreased.

And the difference is apparent

Of course, if money is not an issue, go for πŸ’Ž
Of course, the premise is having a girlfriend who wants to get married 🎎

Gravitational Waves

A gravitational-wave observatory is a device used in gravitational-wave astronomy to detect gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are ripples caused by the acceleration of masses in spacetime. Albert Einstein first proposed the concept of gravitational waves in 1916. By detecting gravitational waves, it is possible to experimentally verify general relativity. Commonly used detectors include bar detectors and laser interferometers, which primarily work by measuring the effect of gravitational waves on the distance between two locations far apart. Starting from the 1960s, multiple gravitational-wave detectors have been constructed and put into operation, with continuous improvements in detector sensitivity.

And various animal models
There is a huge blue whale outside the museum

Ueno Zoo

Every time I went to the zoo before, either the tiger exhibit was being renovated or it was about to close
Finally saw a tiger 🐯
A gorilla wearing a headband
Accidentally made eye contact and saw his expression
Instantly gave me the chills and made me think of Planet of the Apes

Anteater, right?
It turns out I saw a kangaroo 🦘 before going to Australia

When I saw that the zoo was about to close, I left
Passed by the Wasurenai Bridge
Saw that yellow dot ☁️ or 🍦 that I saw from the Tokyo Skytree?

Return Journey

After checking out the next day, I went downstairs and took the Narita Express to the airport
When I picked up my ticket, the lady asked if I was alone
I don’t know why there’s still harm to singles 🐢 here

Then the lady happily informed me:
We have upgraded you to business class
Welcome to continue flying JAL in the future

It turns out that the airline randomly upgrades some customers

Lucky

However, this upgrade is limited to the business class of the plane
Unlike the self-paid ANA, where I could enter the first-class lounge with a shower room


Of course, the business class is as comfortable as ever
I slept on the plane for a while
And thus ended this 10-day trip to πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅.
