Day 12 - Tuesday



Today we started off with a trip out to PC Mall - this was 5 floors dedicated to PC's, Laptops, mobile Phones and all and everything computery. Gaz and Sam were loving it - I was bored out of my brain, but endured!

Josie not feeling to well today had made the best choice and stayed home!

<- This was just one of the sights I saw - Spot the gloves these were sellotaped to the handlebars of the bike. This is a familiar site throughout the city.



After PC Mall it was time for a trip to one of the museums - Starting with the Shangai Science & Technology Museum.

The first exhibition was the Animal Kingdom - this was more enjoyable than the Wild Animal Park visit from Saturday as it was warm and the views of the animals were better...



We didn't see this sort of movement or violence at the Safari park..







We then ventured through the Bat-Cave where Garry and Sam proceeded to display their knowledge of the Batman theme tune!
In the Robotics Exhibition we saw the dancing robot arms - that also displayed their car making skills as well as dancing skills.
There ws also the Piano playing robot who was activated by performers singing karaoke on the screen behind - now she didn't do much moving as the visitors all seemed to shy - and us biys couldn't help out as we can't read Chinese!!
In the Human & Health exhibition we had the choice of sitting inside a giant fruit on a ride taking us inside the human digestive system - This creature 'according to the ride' lives inside us - their was also some bizarre talking faces!
The journey starts with us looking like this - We start in the mouth, down the throat. You know how it all works. There were bubbles in the stomache...etc...etc... although what surprised us was the exit ... yes we were excreted through the arse by little babies wearing crowns that play with poo - Well that's what the ride was telling us
After our trip through the Body it was time for Outer Space - here Garry decided to take a ride on a Gyroscope - or something. (one of them thingies that spins you all upside down and around and around - see pic) The thing is I'd have been throwing up and screaming to get off whilst wondering what assortment of treats had fallen out of my pockets - Garry decided to laugh all the way through his experience.
After another day off fun it was time for home to check up on the poorly patient and to order Pizza for Dinner.. Mmm!!! food, drink and then sleep.
