August 1, 2013 IMAX

Our teacher, Bill

 Information Hunt

World's largest IMAX theatre!

Entering the auditorium

----------------------------------------------------

Imagined that the screen that you are watching is as tall as a ten-storey building. Maybe you will think it is amazing. But in our first impression, it was really simple. You can just 'close up' you eye to the television at home. How come it’s so special? How come this screen has attracted so many people to watch this so-called IMAX film? However, it seems that we were wrong after watched the movie. It was absolutely fantastic. At the beginning, the subtitles were like bumping to our faces, and after a minute, we forgot that we were in the cinema and was already in The Arctic. That was really shocking to us! The film is a documentary that was about the polar bears. I understand that we have really threatened our eco-system and some animals were threatened us. We could definitely feel that we could do more for the Earth.

July 31, 2013 Hyde Park and Sydney Tower

Hyde Park

Street performance

Archibald Fountain

Sydney Tower

 Waiting to see the 4D movie about Sydney

-----------------------------------------------------

Sydney Tower, here we are!

 

Today, we went to Sydney Tower, the tallest free-standing structure in Australia. The view there is similar to HK, but it is still amazing for some people. We would like to join the SKY WALK at the beginning, however it was too expensive, so was the souvenir shop,

 

After the Sydney Tower, we went shopping in Broadway Shopping Centre, there were many shops which sold goods in a good deal, especially the K-mart. We bought a lot in there, a warm jumper costs AUD 8 and a pair of sneakers is just AUD5. They are really cheap, so I recommend you to go there to go there for some crazy shopping.

July 30, 2013 Taronga Zoo

Too rush! We eat our lunch on ferry

Cable car ride to the top of the hill

Briefing before we explore the zoo

Chimpanzees!! Can you find your brothers and sisters?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today we went to the Taronga Zoo. We felt amazed and excited. We can know more about animals. We saw many lovely animals such as Kangaroo , Emu , Peacock , Echidna , lions , Platypus and elephany. But when we looked at those animals , some animals were sleeping. At this moment , we felt upset because we can’t saw them move.We like Giraffe the most because they have long neck and they are so tall . Next, our whole class went to see The Ocean Theatre . We were impressed about the sea lions did the well post and clapped their big hands . This show was very funny. The sea lions were clever that they can understand what the trainer ordered them. They claped their hands , said goodbye to us , or even took something for the trainer. I think they have been well trained. Thank you for the trainer and the sea lions. What a good show!

July 29, 2013 Bondi Beach

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

Bondi Beach, where we have been today, is a famous beach in Sydney. I think it looks like a picture, which is, drew by a famous artist, it is absolutely wonderful and amazing. We are like in wonderland. I really want to swim there because the sea and the sand were very clean and comfortable; it was totally different from Hong Kong. Although we both didn’t bring our swimsuit or something like clothes, we took off our shoes and shocks, pleated our trousers, and ran to the sea. The water there was very clear, we could even see our feet under the water. We took photos crazily, our friend, Janet, made her trousers totally wet by herself and she said,” Let’s get wet!” She is really crazy! Maybe I am the survivor, haha…
