Busy Day 30.06.11

Got up early as today (6.30) as we were going to visit the Royal sea world the next city over, Fu Xun. Got Taxi which took a very long time to reach the bus station, traffic was real bad. Got to the station and I noticed a MacDonald close by, didnt have time for that, so we got our tickets and hopped on the Bus, 200 yuan each for 3 doors at the Sea world. It would take one hour to get there from Shen Yang. On the way I passed something that looked like a nuclear power plant but I think it was waste disposal.

We arrived and straight away all the peddelers came over saying we should buy inflatable rings and goggles, Everyone else in our group was buying them but I refused and only got Leon one but I did have to carry it around with me the whole time. Headed in and the was a little problem getting trough the main gate, our tour guide was new and only finding her feet, a young 17 year old perky girl, truth be told she didnt really know what she was doing. There were 9 people in our group and once passed the front gate we were left to our own devices.

Place was big but not as big as Lao Hu Tan in Da Lian. We headed into the first place which was the sea life world. Its just the usual; dark place, lots of fish a few seals, a polar bear and a few Dolphins. Speaking of Dolphins they did have the dolphin show which is a big part of all these places, unfortunately it is all based on the American model so it was nothing we had not seen before.

After the sea life center we headed to the fake indoor beach. I was impressed by its size and for what it was, it worked. Its was warm, there was sand and waves and lots of girls in bikinis(sorry, no pictures of this one) but not too many lookers. Leon had a great time swimming. Finished there and tried to enter the next area but was stopped and told we cant use our tickets any more, DanDan got angry and called the girl to find out what was wrong, she said oh come outside and we can talk about it, we knew full well that if we leave they wont let us back in so refused. So we felt ripped off. They counted the main entrance as a door, os our ticket was punched 3 times even though we only went to 2 attractions. No good. I told the manager of the park that I will tell everyone on line not to come.

We headed back to ShenYang, very hot as usual. Got off bus and headed to the MacDonald's we saw earlier, Time for some burger, I ordered the biggest burger they had and Surprise Suprise, They had a diet drink available, progress. Burger tasted the same, chips tasted the same......but wait, the diet coke had a strange smell of apples from it and tasted totally different, sigh...oh well almost there. KFC never let you modify any orders but MacDonald do, so MacDonald for the win here.

After food we went to Da Jia Ting again as I wanted to buy the leather dog lead I had seen before, played lots of games with Leon, got the lead for 160 yuan(about 16 euro)

and Leon made a cake.
