Day 6 - Theme Park!!

A simple and sweet day (:
well, maybe?
Yes. (:

My roommates and I were almost late for our first gathering outing with the locals today. We made it though (:

I took the first public bus that came (2rmb) and we head off to the theme park first. While waiting for the rest of them to arrive, most of us took pictures at the waiting area and make use of the time to get to know each other a little bit more.

The theme park is really a big, vast of land. There's a lot of walking that needs to be done before we are able to see the different rides. At one point of time, I even asked Journey as to where is the Theme park. Imagined the amazement I felt when she said we are already in the Theme Park and that the rides are just a bit further away? Haha! We weren't suppose to pay for the entry fee. We were just required to pay for the rides that we want to get on. Which means, the rest of the park is free for others to move about and just stroll around to enjoy the sceneries. It wasn't bad at all. (:

There were quite a number of water boat rides that we had to passby. One that really caught my eyes are the ones that look like hamster-exercising-balls but they are actually kiddy rides! Fascinating, huh? It looks so FUN! They have skating rinks in the theme park as well! Cool, huh!

Took some photos, I hope it is enough to describe the theme Park (:
Went for dinner after paying for the hand-drawn self portrait. I got it for about 14 rmb? I have to ask hash again cos she volunteered to help all three of us pay first and I have not pay her back yet! hahah!

Went for shopping/dinner. however, we soon realise there werent any halal food stall in the shopping mall. I have to thank our hosts many, many for helping us locate a nearby (but not so near to me)muslim food stall. Not many of them joined us to eat but I know most of them had been running around just to help us find. For that, i know Hash and I are very grateful. Delighted I was when Journey, Xinhui, Weiguang and XY joined us still. (:

Friends, thank you for today (:
