So vast the ocean
so rough the squall
Let us depart
and measure the tides
where the currents collide
Drown with me
a thousand fathoms deep
beneath ourselves

Blessed flamingo
feed me foreign,
entrance me with your call
Oh, how all the plants thrive
Lend me your compass,
guide me through to
invade your habitat
My lover,
I'm beginning to melt
feed me foreign,
entrance me with your call
Oh, how all the plants thrive
Lend me your compass,
guide me through to
invade your habitat
My lover,
I'm beginning to melt

where's my head at?
After the table tennis incident I got real hyped, listened to some good Earthgang and floated through the city. Earlier while rainy-time-scouting I've read about a cool clothing store with a skate shop on the second floor, so I had me a nice lunch and went to the secluded alley to check out what they had going on. Couldn't find it, but saw signs indicating the Cat Cafe, so I thought I could enjoy a cup and ask around where I could find the intended store. Once I squeezed through the walls leading to the cafe and climbed the super tiny stairs I got greeted by, well, a bunch of cats. There was one girl half asleep with a cat purring right on her lap and as soon as I sat down at a table a fluffy hairball came out from under it and casually made at home on my legs. :3
The coffee was surprisingly alright and incidently a real Americano. Sadly I then found out that the shop I was looking for had closed down for good. Darn, again :O

Look whom I've met today!
Did I really forget to put up a pic from the Panda Breeding Center‽
: Say whaaaaat?
Today I went to the waterfront where Daguan Pavillion is located. To my surprise it turned out to be mixed in with a kind of amusement park. Lots of boat rides, costume vendors and the likes in between huge lotus lakes. I'm lucky to still hit the end of the flowering season, it's just so beautiful. And by the way: lotus root was one of my favourite parts of the hotel breakfast in Chengdu.
One of the pavillions held a lot of these wooden reliefs. Unfortunately Engrish information is mostly provided at the entrance of such rooms and rarely for individual pieces.
