Pringles' vending machine. I've never seen pringles vending machine.

 
It was interesting. I was really excited.

The Zoo covers 163 acres and it takes several hours to see all of the animals and exhibits.  To make your walk around the Zoo more enjoyable, wear comfortable shoes and clothing, as the Zoo is set on hilly terrain and some paths are steep.   

Daikaya

"Daikaya"- a new Sapporo ramen style restaurant opened in Chinatown, Washington D.C.  I went there with my friends in the evening. The shop was such a crowded one, and we had to wait for around 20 minutes.

Miso Ramen

I ordered Miso Ramen and added a boiled egg. The soup was leaning on the salty side, but still it was very delicious. The price is average in the United States.The space was clean and modern. The staff was friendly.　I left the restaurant with satisfaction.
