Pleasure@ Singapore zoo

Pleasure@ Singapore zoo

Last Saturday I went on a trip to the Singapore zoo which is organized by the church of my host family and had much pleasure there. However, I didn’t perceive the journey to be a considerable one merely because of the heavy rain in the morning. I failed to anticipate a pleasant trip and didn’t manage to be informed any message about the cancellation of this travelling plan as well. I and Yaowen, a friend of mine who had also been invited for this outing, left our hostel at eight o’clock in the morning, wearing a hopeless conflict on our faces.

Nevertheless, it was not as miserable as we had expected. A rainy day is indeed troublesome, but things got much better after I bought a plain but cute raincoat. It meant I didn’t need to hold the umbrella tightly all the way trudging in the zoo; I retrieved the capability to take photos of the various animals as well as the beautiful scenery.

What impressed me and Yaomen most is a strange crocodile we saw in the zoo. It lay prone on the shore with its mouth largely open, and just keep the odd posture dramatically still. Since there were some sculptures of creatures situated across the zoo, we inferred that it must be another fake one; a real one could not hold the strange behavior and didn’t move at all. Nevertheless, when we went through the exhibition and came back to the entrance, we saw the crocodile of stillness again, but much to our astonishment, though it remained to keep its mouth open, it was not difficult to spot that the open mouth became smaller. It should be a real living one! I think both of us thought in mind at that moment: “Oh my goodness…”

By the way, the KFC in the Singapore zoo was quite expensive, but it was virtually rather nice, not only the food, but also the environment. It is quite enjoyable to relish eating just several meters from the lively natural world. If you haven’t been there, hope you can have a good time wandering in the zoo, and please go to have a look and inform me of the condition of the considerably strange crocodile!
