I had to write the own entry for this one. The Penguin Parade, which literally means hundreds of small penguins coming out of the ocean and stumbling their way across the beach to their sand-dune burrows. It's really delightful sight but maybe even more spectacular is the actual tourist business around it. Besides the massive parking lots there's a huge penguin terminal for tourist where you can take photoshopped images of you and your family with the penguins. There's not any photographing in the actual beach so all the photo-mad Asians have to pick this option and pay. Well even though there were strict regulations about photographing we still saw some flashes and heaps of cameras around the beach and the boardwalks so that's about it. Oh yeah, and don't imagine that you can get onto the beach. There's a big stadium around the area where the penguins are landing so you can view them from the distance with hundreds of other tourists buzzing around. You can't probably miss some black suited businessmen having a quick glance at the penguins and so fitting perfectly in this environment.
