Today I went to Wetland Park, one of the optional tours the OMIP offered the exchange students. Option 2 was a trip to Mong Kok, but I wanted something relaxing for my last day of summer vacation.
Let's see...this morning I wandered about Fu Tai for a bit, looking at the unfamiliar foods in the supermarket. Entire frozen chickens, aloe vera juice, red bean and coconut popsicles ("red bean and coconut" is all one flavor). Actually, this afternoon I sipped someone's red bean milk tea...not bad.
Then I wandered about campus a bit and ran into friend (also wandering) so we wandered together, trying to fill time before Wetland Park. We were unable to fill enough time, however, so we returned to our hostels. I joined my rommate in watching a Japanese television show with Chinese subtitles, which she translated into English. What an odd show. There's a ten-year-old high school teacher with magic powers and I think all the students had special powers too. And one of them looked like an elfin android, but we didn't learn anything about her in this episode.
Anyway, I headed for the canteen for lunch, learned it's closed on Sundays, and ate dim sum at the Chinese restaurant on campus. Curried squid = delicious. Same for the jasmine tea. The shrimp dumplings never arrived, but we had to leave for Wetland Park so I'll try those another time. Thinking I'd only be grabbing food to go at the canteen, I'd left my camera and water bottle in my room, so I literally ran to fetch them, powered by fear of missing the bus.
I didn't :)
But what should inappropriately visitors do after reading this sign in the middle of park? And I'm still struggling to figure out how not climbing over fences relates to taking care of children.
All museums should fill their main entrance with elaborate origami displays.
Taro!
Watch a mud skipper in action!
