Panda-mania

Eversince the Taiwanese president Ma was elected, 2 special guests from China, now resides in Taipei, drawing more than 7000 visitors per day. To avoid crowds, we waited patiently for months and took an opportunity to visit the Taipei Zoo! Yes, our special " black & white" guests "團團"Tuan tuan & "圓圓" Yuan yuan have immigrated to Taipei since Feb'09. A numbered ticket with a time to visit the pandas was given upon initial entry. We had to drop by visits to the Emu, giraffes, wallabys, elephants, monkeys....etc for almost 2 hours before our turn to stand in line for some panda sighting! It was panda booths everywhere: snacks, popcorn, drinks, and we had a Panda shaped choco-vanilla ice-cream during our wait. 3:10pm! was finally time for us to see the pandas! We hastily followed the line, got our cameras ready, and guess what? we only saw two sleeping pandas through the glass windows, while being shoved to continue walking and keep the line moving! Rule of thumb, Pandas sleep most of the time in order to digest the fibrous sugar canes, so, visit them in the morning~!Nissan sponsored photo shooting with the land of cute animals~The Sleeping pandas...zzzzzzzJust outside the bathrooms~ there was the land of Poop Wall Art~
