| Melon was happy to meet a friend of hers. |
I can't remember how much I paid to enter the theme park. At the point of writing, the entrance fee is CNY220.00 (~S$45.40) per adult and half of that per child between 1.2 and 1.5 m in height.
I didn't manage to explore the whole premise, partly because some parts weren't adequately illuminated at night. I also couldn't capture nice photos as I didn't have a powerful camera, so I'd certainly love to go back someday.

We shall now fly to Europe. Some of the photos show not just one, but two landmarks.

 |
| The Palace of Versailles in France reminds me of the good times I had with my university friends when we went for the 3-week European Immersion Programme in 2011. |

Frankly speaking, I don't see why Paris, the capital city of France, is a romantic city.

I've got a story to tell. I didn't realise until much later that Melon fell out of my backpack as something was wrong with the zipper. Upon realising that she was gone, I quickly went to retrace my steps in a panic mode. It certainly didn't help that many places weren't well-lit as mentioned earlier. Thankfully, I managed to find her at Piazza San Marco, the principal public square of Venice, Italy. I decided to carry her in my arms till I went back to
Mellow Orange Hotel.
