FIRST TIME TO ZOO

Crystal is 44 weeks

It's Crystal's first time to zoo, with her mom & dad, uncle and aunt, brother(Chong-Chong), grand-aunt, little uncle (son of grand-aunt).
she slept in the taxi so i needed to carry her while standing on the queue for zoo bus. ghosh ... why it's so crowded everywhere here in China !!! (sigh!) the ticket was 25 yuan/person. and free for children below 1.2m height.
but we need to pay extra 15 yuan/person for panda and 10 yuan/person for snake (cobra). it's decided then not to see panda and cobra.

Crystal missed the peacock 'coz she was still sleeping. however, we woke her up later on. then she was busy wacthing the lampion and windmill hanging between trees on two sides of the walking path. later on she saw deer, birds, camel, ostrich.
we arrived on the pool for sealion show on 11am. she clapped few times during the show. haha... probably i guess bcoz she saw all the people clapping hands. then she saw girrafe, baby chimp, zebra, some species of monkeys, gorilla.

not long after lunch, she fell asleep and missed the white tigers, puma, eagles, racoon, panther, boar. she woke up in front of the tiger stall, imitated tiger roaring and raised her two hands as tiger claws after i showed her. we continued seeing kangaroo and hippo, black and white swan, wild duck. then ended the journey.

i also saw a kind of dog, it's called "zang ao"藏獒, Tibetan mastiff. (ao獒 = 大猛犬 which can mean fierce dog) the dog i saw had black brown fur, with strong big head. which seems very fierce. the dog can be sold out within 20,000 yuan till 1,000,000 yuan ! 1 yuan is around Rp 1065 or around US$ 0.125. can you imagine ?!!

anyway, Crystal doesn't care about the dog's price. =) she is happy today for the outdoor activity. after coming back home, she still wanted to go out for a walk. so her grandpa took her to the park.
