DAY 9 @ USA<\/p>\n

I am sorry to tell all of you that I have to write my diary in English in these few days because I can’t type Chinese in Hong’s computer. Hope you still enjoy reading my diary.<\/p>\n

Although I should have a bit of jet lag (California is 3 hours slower than New York), I could still wake up around 8am. May be another reason was that I had to talk to Day in MSN!!! 8am here is 11pm in Hong Kong, a perfect time for chatting in MSN. Expectedly (luckily), he’s there~\"\"\u00a0I chatted with him and at the same time getting some breakfast from Hong’s fridge. CHINESE BUNS (vegetables+mushroom&lt;–Day called it as “pretty girl bun”, haha~)!!! WAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n

\n

We were going to the Monterey Aquarium this afternoon. We started our activity around 12 noon, after Hong had come back from school. Before the 2-hour journey, she brought me to a very colourful shop to buy a drink. We shared a “Power-sized\u00a0Mango-a-go-go”, which is a mango+pineapple smoothie. It was chilled\"\" and ideal for such a hot hot weather (actually the weather here is very strange)!!! In this shop, they can split a Power-sized drink into two for you for free. That’s why you see the picture below has two identical cups. Very nice~<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"Mango-a-go-go, accompanied us throughout the 2-hour journey (finally only 1 1\/2 hour~).<\/span>After reaching Monterey, we entered the aquarium immediately. Last night, Hong Lo Ming suggested us to have our lunch in the cafeteria of the aquarium.<\/p>\n
\"\"We bought 2 soups, a clam chowder (left) and a roasted chicken vegetable soup (right). The crackers were free of charge!!! They gave us 4 packages but we only ate 2. Both were nice but the clam chowder was thicker, which was better for lunch.<\/span>We finished our lunch within half a hour because we had to watch the mini seahorse show at 2:30pm.<\/p>\n
\"\"The staff (with blue cap) explained to us the features of a seahorse: a fin like a fish, a pouch like a kangaroo, a tail like a monkey and a face like a horse. As seahorse daddy bears the kids, she looked for a dad in the audience to pretend a seahorse!!! There was not a lot of information in the show but it was fun.<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n
\n

After finishing this, we walked around the aquarium. There is a wide variety of marine animals. The aquarium is nicely decorated, which is comparable to the aquarium I went to in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

\"\"Of course we had to look at the sea otters!!! They are the\u00a0leading roles\u00a0of the aquarium. We looked at them during the feeding time. Very cute!!!<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n
\n

In the aquarium, you could not only look at the fish, you also had a chance to touch them.<\/p>\n

\"\"I was touching a ray. Slippy body!!!<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"These are sardines!!! What do you think of, Ga Jie? These sardines really open their mouth wide and eat the food.<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"Haha…Penguins penguins.<\/span>We stayed at the aquarium until it closed at 6pm. Then we went for dinner in “Bubba Gum”. It is the restaurant of Forrest Gump!!!<\/p>\n
\"\"Remember Forrest Gump playing football? The teammates just told him, “Run, Forrest, Run!!!”. In this restaurant, you use this sign to call for a waiter’s help. You need his service, then you flip to the sign “Stop, Forrest, Stop” or otherwise it is “Run, Forrest, Run.” Fun, huh?<\/span><\/p>\n
\"\"We were very very full after the dinner!!! It was a nice restaurant. The atmosphere was good but the\u00a0food was a bit too strong for me.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
