Well I can’t start this post without showing yet another cute food; this was a snack that my sister’s friend brought to her from Japan. They are little sesame treats:

And a shot from Central, which is where we boarded to visit  Ocean Park:

Ocean Park is an amusement park mixed with an aquarium and a zoo. I have vague memories of going to Ocean Park over 15 years ago, and it was nothing like how I remembered! For one thing, I did not ride any of the roller coasters or other rides. But this time, we did and although the rides are a little dated, it was still fun to go on a roller coaster off the side of a cliff! And their escalators are crazy! I am thinking they are almost 90 degree angles up the mountain.

We only snapped a few photos in the aquarium section, but I think the videos speak for themselves as far as how awesome it was!

LOL, okay, my mom snapped this one. She was supposed to focus on the plants, which were decorated like jellyfish!

And this one is funny too. Brian asked my sister why most Asians do the peace sign in photos and for them, it’s just another way of saying hello! Here, my mom and Brian demonstrate:

And I loved seeing the pandas! Ocean Park has 4 pandas.
