7/29 The evil conspiracy of Sydney Aquarium

All the shooting drained every bit of my Ipod yesterday. As for today, the amount of photos we took ate up all of my memory! Forcing me to delete many applications to free up the mbs. We still have half a Sydney, Brisbane and a Gold Coast to go, what are we going to do?

We woke up a bit late today, abandoning the cornflakes and headed toward the cheap Japanese Dragon Boy. I intended to order for a beef rice with a tempura mix, but the tempura just never seemed to be ready… however I felt full after finishing the rice.

The Sydney’s Aquarium was totally worth the ticket, though we had visited the one in Melbourne before. But the one here was bigger, with many more species. I even saw the platypus for god’s sake! There were many cool animals like up-side-down fish and strange crabs. However the most amazing one would be the two manatees in the fish tank. There were pictures describing that manatees were vicious animals which transformed themselves into mermaids by spell, and that they seduced sailors, dragging and drowning them in the water afterwards. The truth is, manatees are peaceful animals, and they were extremely cute eating cabbage in the fish tank. One of the manatees kept pooping in the water, which looked exactly human poo…

In the following tanks, you would see loads of sharks of different kinds swimming lazily around, and carrying big bellies… they must have been fed well every day. At the rear we saw many saw sharks, the kind that Roxie really loved. I recalled that there was only one in Melbourne Aquarium and I counted a dozen here in Sydney. That’s a real conspiracy of Sydney Aquarium, but I gave my hands to that.

Roxie bought a cup of double mocha for us to freshen up. The price was pretty much the same as it was in Taiwan, finally there’s something reasonable HAHA. We visited the Convention Centre and Harborshore and Maritime Museum in the afterwards which were on the other end of Darling Harbor. Most of the shops were already closed, so we just wandered around admiring the sunset. I bought a cup of “slime”, the kind of gooey toy we used to play in childhood.

Both Roxie and I were starving to death by the time we got back to CBD, feeling exhausted and weak. I felt no appetite toward Chinese or Japanese food, so we picked a Thai restaurant and ordered a bowl of laksa, some green curry and a plate of soft crabs. All of the dishes tasted a little too sweet, but at least we were full.
