Science Museum & Willow Lawn

Yes smoke from the microwave! From the room beside winnie's, and winnie's room is right opposite minrui's (and sirong's). And minrui is supposed to go bathe after one whole day of walking under the hot sun but our level is stinkyyyyyy (there's the smoke smell) and minrui is a tad too lazy to go other levels to bathe. So i shall blog! Muahaha..

Science Museum of Virginia



Greedy winnie still trying to gobble down the strawberry when her head is already on the fruit platter.


Minrui's head on the fruit platter. Lousy winnie took this photo showing the whole world how this works -.-


自拍。。In the mirror, there's another me looking into a mirror, and in that mirror there's yet another me looking into a mirror...... You get the idea.


Another mirror thing. Something like the mirror is between us yet we can see each other and of course our own reflection.


Ames room!! i see the room in my textbook, i know the logic behind the optical illusion, and now i'm in the room! :))

So high, i can't reach!

Minrui is a giant!! (She ate the mushroom mario gave her!)


Rat basketball training! It's about operant conditioning!! Training the rats step by step to play basketball by rewarding them with food. There's two rats in the tank. See the shadow to the left and on top of the rat? It's the other rat going through the basketball hoop.


Demonstration on phase changes using liquid nitrogen. Though it's about boring stuff like solid, liquid, and gaseous states, how come we don't have this kind of stuff in school when we learnt these?!? They make learning fun!!


Last but not least, winnie doing the moonwalk!!
(smthg wrong with the video will post it another time)

Social Security + Bank of America + Krispy Kreme + Willow Lawn

As winnie was sick and we went to the hospital (i know i have yet to blog about it but the photos are in sirong's phone), we didn't manage to do our social security. But we didn't want to wait till the next session cos we wanted to open a bank account so that our paycheck can go in. Hence we walked from our dorm to the place..


After which we walked to Bank of America. Turned out that we don't need a social security number to open bank account.


We asked where the bathroom was and they pointed us to.....


This is the safe deposit vaults behind the door shown above and down a flight of stairs. Reminds me of Jumper, which i watched on the flight here.


And then the three of us walked all the way to Krispy Kreme so that winnie could get ONE donut -.-

The long walk..


Winnie and her KK donut.


Willow Lawn was just a few blocks down from KK.

We went Old Navy to shop. Minrui's purchase: 2 dresses and 3 tops.


And there's a bookstore there with pretty good price. Was very tempted to buy these (and Bleak House by Charles Dicken but i decided that it is too chim for me)..



But i restrained myself and bought only 3 books. (Since when minrui is such a bookworm??) The third book is scary, i know.

And then we went Kroger to do grocery shopping (again). We're doing grocery shopping like twice a week? Zzzzzzz. This is sirong and her strawberries.
And after one long day of walking we bused back!! (Our first bus in Richmond, i THINK. The previous one was in LA?) But our hands were full with groceries so no photos of that. It was dark anyway.

Okay it's past 2am and i'm off to zzz. Goodnight world.
