They had a long session of tests of 9 years old check up at a hospital. We all needed a break. Warm milk and fluffy airy pancakes to ease them.

National Museum of Nature and Science 国立科学博物館

 Checked out their special exhibition, Mass Extinctions BIG FIVE. Very interesting and amazing to think that we are here now after almost complete wipe outs in the history. 

And we left the museum to have lunch, the boys were happy with their ramen noodle & gyoza pot sticker combo. Then came back to check out the permanent exhibition.
