Pandas at the Ueno Zoo
Thousands of people lined up before the zoo opened
April 1, 2011, Tokyo, Japan - People wait in a queue to see the first public appearance of two giant pandas from China at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo on Friday, April 1, 2011. Thousands of visitors flocked to catch a first glimpse of a pair of pandas on loan from China, in a welcome respite from the gloom over last month's massive earthquake and tsunami in northern Japan.
