More on spring break.. After Mexico, wang ning stayed in san diego for a couple of days and I went to the zoo with him. Yup, the world-famous San Diego zoo. Very disappointing.. A rather educational place, but not very entertaining. Maybe it's the weather.. cloudy weather makes everything gloomy. There are many pig-like creatures, hogs and boars.. not enough big charismatic predators. Maybe they're all in the wild animal park. We didn't even see the pandas cos there are too many people queueing up. aah, if I want to see pandas, I'll go Sichuan. The zoo was flooded with kids on fieldtrips.

Balboa Park was good though. Buildings are very photogenic and we bluffed our way into the Natural History museum.. ok not really bluffing, just looked innocent and walked in. Saw the organ pavilion, the organ is not really outdoor, it's in a small house that I believe one of the walls can be removed and the organ exposed. Must go back on one Sunday and see it in action. Balboa Park is worth going again. It's just too inconvenient.. Learn to drive!!

Anyway, here are some pictures..

The zoo seriously need more charismatic big mammals like this one and a male counterpart to get people to come here and to promote conservation.
