Hello :)
I had a really great and fun day at the Zoo and River Safari today! Only went with py since it's such an impromptu trip, we only decided last night! This py suddenly said that there's a promotion(40% special) going on especially for today since its the Zoo's 40th anniversary, and I really wanted to go to the zoo so there we have it. Upon reaching, the queue was freaking long which I didn't foresee at all. End up we had to queue for around 45 minutes, and guess what? The ticketing counter said that if we wanted to see pandas, we had to pay additional $25 because pandas are inside the River Safari instead of the Zoo itself. We paid for it since my main purpose to the zoo was to see the pandas Jia Jia and Kai Kai, and I think it was pretty worth it since the Zoo's entrance fee was $8.80 so total was $33.80 for both the Zoo and River Safari. So yeah since I loveeeeeee pandas so much(since they're so damn cute), we decided to go ahead with River Safari first! (P.S. I'll only post pictures that are clear) Since most of the animals mainly aquatic are inside glass tanks, it's hard to take pictures without the glass reflections and blurriness.

Had lunch at Mama Panda Kitchen! The food was good and unexpectedly the prices wasn't too expensive! We had a Beef Ramen set which comes with Fried Lotus Root Crisps and Longan beancurd. Topped up with the panda pau and 2 iced lemon teas in panda bottle(1 for only 3.90$!!), the whole meal costs only $24.60!
