chapter seven, page forty eight:

The days after submission have been spent enjoying himself in China. He headed off to the Dalian Zoo today, in anticipation to see the black-eyed pandas.

Upon arrival at the zoo after an hour plus journey, it was a completely disgusting scene to his eyes. Dead ducks, dead rabbits and ill looking baby-animals filled the animal farm, while ponies, zebras and other animals were looking dirty and ill-kept.





It was a terrible scene indeed. The animals looking sad, crying out for mercy but no one understands them, they just think it is entertaining them.

After a long day taking in gruesome images, he travelled by cable car to the long awaited panda, only to be disappointed with one, dirty panda, in an environment of faked bamboos made out of plastic, lying in its own waste, and without a doubt looking dead. China’s pride, this is China’s pride.


Having such a bad experience, he knew he needed a break from such obscene things. He headed off to XingHai area, where there was a castle turned into a seashell museum. Time was spent there snapping pictures, then heading home for rest.
