Ocean Park - 20100823

Last Friday I spent my time in Ocean Park. The sun was blazing, temperature searing, and the tourists were mostly annoying.

Though the crowded environment was expected, the overriding majority of mainlanders was out of thought. While waiting to be onboard of the cable car, our compatriots were circling us up. Some of them bypassed us, so professionally, without a single ounce of shame. It was a good training of EQ to line up in such a queue, if it could still be called so.

The cable car ride was pleasant as usual. The scenic cove, together with the summer breeze, could soothe down one's anger. Once departed, I could not help frowning again. The mountain was captured by all the mannerless Chinese.

We could only squeezed some time to watch the "Ocean Theatre". Before the show, I stole little time to buy sneaks from McDonald. For god sake, I would never spend 30 minutes under the punishing sun for junk food, except in Ocean Park. Anyway. Lovely dolphins and seals were a huge contrast to the audiences. I was thrilled to see those acrobatic creatures, conditioned to perform various acts. The show was nice.

Merry-go-round was the only mechanical stuff we played. Then, we visited those giant pandas and red pandas. Giant pandas were either too old to move, or too gluttonous to eat. In contrast, red pandas were more active. It ran around to make ends meet.

Nevertheless, it was sad that the park was spoilt.
