Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong - 23rd August 2010
By: vivyanhui
Behind me is the Hong Kong Cultural Centre,
it's big and with some sculptures as decorations,
take a look of the ceiling, many lights too!
There's also a model of the building, with the open plaza and Clock Tower~
Don't you think the open plaza look like a human eye?
And then we went home by bus, a double deck one,
there are 4 televisions in each bus, 2 on the upper deck, and 2 on lower deck.
See the black thing on the yellow handrail?
We just need to press it,
then the driver will know someone need to get off the bus.

Chinese Park, Hong Kong - 26th August 2010
By: vivyanhui
Guess where did I go today?
A chinese park! Everywhere is full of unique chinese style,
and something should not be missed - rock lion!!
Though they have a fierce face, they are all very friendly~
They even gave all of us a ride, cool!
They all got different gestures, styles and accessories~
Some of them have a round rock in their mouth,
it is for luck and something good,
also known as some gems or pearl in the reality.
There are also some bonsai plants too, can you see dragon crafted on the pot?

Jurassic Park, Hong Kong - 29th August 2010
By: vivyanhui
Wooowwwwwoooowwwwow!!!!!!
What an exciting adventure today!
At the beginning, three of us found a huge footprint on the sand,
but we have no idea of what kind of animal it is.
And later! The land began to shake like having earthquakes,
I turned around and saw... a dinosaur!
I was so scared at first but then found that they are all so friendly~
We wandered around the place and saw many of them,
they all have an extremely big foot (when comparing with ours!),
we had to be very careful or else will become a piece of paper.
There are some lovely babies~ And some flying ones.
We walked and walked, suddenly, two dinosaurs started to fight,
it is very dangerous and we don't want to be hurt,
but we ran too slow and luckily that Etwas picked us and flew up to the sky.
After the fight is over, we stopped on a big mushroom and took some rest.
It's cool to be so near with the dinosaurs and their skeletons!

Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong - 20th September 2010
By: vivyanhui
This is an exhibition called "Legendary Mongolia" at Cultural Centre.
There's a big yurt, the home of Mongolian,
as they are nomads, they used this kind of portable house,
which is felt-covered, with wood lattice-framed dwelling structure.
There's also a mongolian sheep!
Both of us have nice horns~
Inside the yurt, some mongolian clothes were displayed,
the brown one is a water bottle~
The carpet down there is a nice craft too.
On the other side,
I saw the most important musical instruments of the Mongolian people.
The Morin Khuur, a string instrutment fiddles with a horse's head.
There are some legends of the origin of the Morin Khuur,
you can take a look and hear its sound here.
