Our "Morning"

So "today" we decided to go to the local museums of History and Science respectively. At first, we tried the science museum but it was open only to school groups in the morning, so we went to the adjacent history museum. It happened to be free "day" at both so we didn't even have to pay. It seemed that many schools decided to take advantage of this as there seemed to be schoolchildren everywhere. It was merely a choice of whether or not we should move fast to keep ahead of them or slower to let them overtake us. The history museum was cool, especially the bits about local culture (featuring large towers of buns-yes, buns). Then we went to have some lunch. Across the street there was what appeared to be a large market. Upon closer inspection it proved to be an outdoor food court. As we stood there among the various restaurants and restaurant stalls (many of which featured fish, the smell and taste of which I happen to dislike), my mother's famously keen eyesight proved to be my savior. Amongst all of the Chinese she spotted an outpost of Western culture: a Subway! Hallelujah for the Meatball Marinara (the chocolate cookie sucked, though). Afterwards the Grandparents went back to the hotel for some R&R while my mother and I decided to explore the science museum. The main attraction there is a 3 or 4 story tall "motion machine" which features a large track for balls that are fired across gaps and against percussion instruments in to create brilliant displays of flashing lights and chaotic sounds. This, however, was out of order so we looked around for a bit then went back to the hotel to update our blogs.
