There Aren’t Just Monkeys In the Circus –Chimelong International Circus

As I probably mentioned ?? my family visit me from Taiwan for a week. Today , I took them to Chimelong (長隆), a well-known theme park resort located in Panyu ,Gaungzhou. Besides its teenage suitable water park, and scary roller coasterly rides, and the mooing noisy, lively ( stingky ) wild safari park, there is this nice exclusive family friendly part in park for all ages- the Famous Chimelong International circus.

I have heard people besides local speaking about this Circus Show, especially some Hong Kong, and Macau locals talked about it, and had especially mentioned many HK/Macau people travel to see the performance. What amazed me is, in China, this land of relatively low consuming ability in general, the ticket price is RMB 250 ( here a beer in can is RMB 3.5, and bowl of good noodle is RMB28 ), very expensive, if luckily you get best discounted ticket, price is RMB200 still. What sort of show is this, why there are so much a big deal, how dare they offer this high price. After I watched the performance this is my comment … Oh My God, it worth every single penny!




Don’t forget, China is a land with many gymnasts (recall Olympic please…) and by international circus, they attracts international good looking and well –trained gymnasts!



The stage effect is also quite poetic, magic forest. Land of the elves landing and perform in the air, Egyptian Queen of the Ferro leading the wild trained animal and Brazilian zamba carnival dance, then near the end, they performed a water diving show (gymnasts im very sure ) and had one audience joined them, the young man being safely tricked and dived into water from 3rd F height. That’s just brilliant, (yeah alright I wished they chose me as well )


Thanks & Regards

Jogger Roger

A few nights ago , I ran about 8 km , 8000 m during a late night jogging session from PM 11:30 - AM 1:30 , not by myself , with the jogger Roger , who is a very strict and serious looking jogger. I believe if it was not his self -discipline and prep 10 km might not be a hard task for a marathon runner like Roger , in international standard it only counts 1/2 of a half round , however it's enough ( a bit too much ) for a beginner like me.

it was first time I get to feel this part of city I live on foot ,

According to google map , our route was 9.8 km , we ran on a huge shape of a square starting from my house pass two long bridge ( the one with cars , the high way type) , and three more tiny bridges( the pedestrian type) , I had once read a sign nearby in my house explain why the city I live was called City Bridge since Ming dynasty ,

Also this is my first time in life to meet a semi professional jogger , now I said I will try to feature the people I had met in china , and of quite a few people I know , I will describe Roger as a " jogger who can run and giving an about 1 hr lecture at the same time in military style" means no joking sound ,no stopping , and no complaints

While I was far off catching up on my own breath , he carried on his well -structured lesson from scientifically healthy diet , biologically speaking of relations how our brain was cheated by our stomach by conveying mis info ( sometimes ur stomach is not empty but when it digest to certain degree it created alarm needs Food however the left over food stays there and accumulate fat etc , then it comes to goal setting ( seperated the whole stage into sessional goals so u won't feel frustrated ) he stopped once get me a bottle of water , and of the cheering up and pressure I finally finished the route .

Roger rated me as out of his expectation strike r120points out of 100 points , i smile and take the compliment while all I think is yes I complete proud of me and good didn't bring money for going home by taxi

An interesting encounter with Kid J

There are lots of thing I wanna blog about , mainly like a personal online dairy entry some records of the passing daily trivia.

Since the time I've been living in china I had got to know a lot of Chinese local friends and one day I will do a personnel feature of them one by one , that's the only right thing to do because they deserves to be kept on my record while came across to each other's life .


I met this new friend , J Kid ,on a very awkward situation , and I've got to say this kid was kind of like a last stroll to ease my panic attack although he didn't know at the moment .

It was at Lohu custom ,on the way back from a weekend to HK, while I was stuck in the floating stream with "Chinese" people now I don't know if you ever pass china to HK custom on a summer vacation weekend , the crowd of people is like one endless floating stream you can't see what's ahead of you and certainly there is no way of going back(how ?) , the worst part was when stream got jammed you suddenly realize you were stuck with this really unpleasant situation and started to be horrified and freaked out , yeah unfortunately ,it was exactly the situation I was in ,at Sunday 8 pm , I ,Chloris, a relatively brave and clever girl can't handle this situation , and literarily going to faint. I look around and move from middle of crowd towards fence , Trying to get some balence . You know you can't faint here because nobody will care about who you are at custom you are only one of the little tiny ant here, (imagine over 30000 ppl here) it would took them a long time to figure out who I am and don't know who to contact as I travel alone with tw ID . The word Refugee come across my mind I think in the war time or the immigration trend the situation must be like this !

Just while I poke my neck out of fence to get a hold of situation (useless btw) I heard a young male voice " are you going to jump over ? It's gonna be the same . " I "haha " him and explain I just want to escape from all of this , we then started to chat hence , as partially i say to myself must make one connection if I really faint he might help me if he actually has a heart . I quickly scanned him. A bright blue shirt with authentic mark of 原子小金剛,iPhone user,cannon digital single lance camera , a luggage of Rimowa , for a moment I thought he was from HK with his fancy gigs . Not bad .

Turns out he was a fresh college graduate and had 1 week hk macou trip with his frds after ceremony but his frds all lost into crowd at the moment, J Kid and I walk through custom together (thank god) then he asked me one question " do you use what's app ?" now here is China , no body use this thing ,I'm kind of stunned,my eyes get brighten , yes I say ! (of course ) ok maybe in Chinese college it's popular but I can assure you this usually is me asking ppl around me to install in china but not asked by chinese so we quickly exchange account and parted . I can see he felt sorry in his eyes . As I gave him a weak smile goodbye , and he need to catch a long distance train .

Turns out J Kid is a super helpful friend !! He let me shared his VPN account later on , which is a paid service like a super super wall climbing program , unblocked the all website Facebook YouTube yahoo all forbidden sites , and opens up in a fast speed on IPhone , i had use many wall climbing program before it either useless or very slow and non of them can apply on to iPhone , So this blog is dedicated to him J Kid thank you sharing VPN and allow me to be able to blog here


This also again remind me one thing. Always be kind be good and be open minded give your chance to meet some new people . This is good way to learn new things
