a trip to nowhere

Tip of the day: anyone looking to improve on SeaWorld is…
Achievement of the Day: We actually got out alive out the 10000 Chinese in the car


A day at the Dalian Sea Aquarium
Udi is back to life and school. Thanks to our trip doctor Dr. Seth. He is always there when we need him.
Reminder: this is the second time we are trying to get to see the Famous Dalian Asia Sea World. (what a long name for such a short trip) We already tried to go there once before but we got to another aquarium close to size of our own LJ pool (….my chinese IS getting better now I can even point to the taxi driver where to go… on the map of course …. last time I tried to tell him how to go and we got nowhere) now we were very excited we finally found IT. Not long ago China received back Hong Kong and in order to celebrate …or commemorate the event they decided to build the largest square in Asia. ( reminder : this is where we had our first live TV debut). Next to the square we found the famous Dalian Asia Sea Aquarium. We paid our 300 Yuan and got in. ( I am sure the lady pocketed 250 Yuan). It is a Monday (not a weekend or holiday) and the place looked like there is a free event going on. Hundreds of buses. Millions of people. Claustrophobic is understatement. Thousands and thousands of people are stacked on top of each other to watch some big fish push a small human being in the air through a 50 feet pool. And applaud..give me a break. We did not have sit and were constantly pushed (literally), 5 minutes into the show off we go…. My patience is running low. We did not even think about a rebate straight to the taxi.(try to explain what you want and why you want it) Lucky Udi he did not go! SeaWorld here we come. Yearly membership.
