Sweet Penguins

The Magellanic penguins at Sumida Aquarium are in full dating mode – their mating period started in late December, and with egg-laying coming up in spring, the South American natives are now actively looking for lovers. The aquarium staff celebrate these amorous pursuits with a programme of gigs (every weekend and on March 14, 6pm-9pm) and talks (Jan 31, Feb 14 & Mar 14, 6pm-9pm), plus a 'penguin couples' photo exhibit and even sales of Penguin Beer. How's this for an offbeat Valentine's Day date idea?
