Summers are very hot, so people stay inside during the day and go out in the evening. I think that’s why there are so many night events at this time of year. Here in Nagoya, you can go to the night zoo or the night aquarium. Last Thursday, I went to the night aquarium. I wanted to check it out because we are hosting an environmental group from South Korea later this month, and I want to take them there. I’m sure they will enjoy it.

These turtles nest on the beaches along the Pacific coast of Japan, but they are not common in Korea.   (137 words)
