Pandies

Like a true celebrity, Tam Tam the giant panda sat unaware of her effect on adoring fans.

Over the silver week holiday, there was a line outside her lair at the Oji Zoo in Kobe. As she munched into oblivion, we lined up like chumps to catch only a two minute glimpse of her, in all her portly glory.
She's got a real way with the camera though. Deep, sultry stares and she really hooks us in with her oral fixation.
A highlight of the zoo by far and I can now say that Japanese are certifiably more in love with pandas than we Americans.
