"I know zoos are no longer in people’s good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both." - Life of Pi

Getting in touch with the nature, visiting the Zoo and the wild what I found the most down-to-earth thing to do with friends and loved ones. To unite humanity that breaks down the wall of persona, barrier of borders, races and all that seemly differences of the earthlings.

Speaking of the Zoos - I wouldn't be surprised if you've heard many negative thing about the Zoos - namely that they deprived of noble and wild creatures of their nature and freedom and trap them in domesticated, boring lives - Zoologist like Pi may disagree, Wild animal in their nature are not free at all - they basically live in a wild environment that encounter fear, fighting, lack of food or an intense strive for survival and parasites on a regular basis. There is always something out there to get them - To survive in the wild, they are always subject to a stringent set of social or nature laws that they must obey or die. Since the zoo provides abundant food, water and clean cage and routine for easy and pleasurable life. That is heaven for animals on earth. Given the chance, Pi says, animal won't even try to escape, unless something in their cage frightens them.

我喜歡從接觸大自然的經歷感受人性論:一直揣摩著參觀動物園和野外生態環境的微妙差別。許多人對動物園的意見都不怎麼樣。他們認為動物園剝奪了野生動物大自然中自由的高貴和生命。把它們關入馴養,無聊的生活 - 像Pi這樣的動物學家就不那麼認為。野獸在他們的大自然根本不是絕對的自由 - 它們基本上生活在一個野生環境中,經常遇到恐懼,戰鬥,缺乏食物,面臨生存的威脅,即使再渺小也要和寄生蟲搏鬥。和人類一樣,動物在野外生存,他們總是受到社會或自然法則約束,他們必須服從或死亡。由於動物園總能提供豐富的食物,水和清潔的籠子,給予方便,舒適和愉快的生活。對於動物們來說,地球豈不是天堂?即使有機會,吃飽喝足的情況下,身為動物學家的Pi說,動物也不會逃跑,除非他們的籠子裡的東西威脅到他們。

15 July, we're making this a National Frenchmen's Day in our little Kingdom - @myday and I are taking a few French friends to the Sydney Zoo and French cafe to celebrate International Friendship in our little corner of the world.

7月15日的今天,我們就命名為法國節 - 我帶上了幾個法國朋友到悉尼塔隆加動物園和法國咖啡館,在我們世界的小角落裡慶祝國際友誼- 彼體現此之间的爱使人性结合。

We started the day with a great choice at the French's Cafe. Chalk written menu on the blackboard, lovely little courtyard, handmade dessert and Fresh bakery.

位於Mosman, 離動物園不遠的地方,我們來到這家法國咖啡廳 。顯然是非常好的選擇。黑板上用粉筆字手寫菜單,可愛的小庭院,手工甜點和新鮮麵包。有情調,而且風味正宗。

We can see a lot of the French snacks on shelf as a true remedy for the childhood of many of our friends. Despite the fact that many of the snack brings a strong resemblance to the shop shelves at Aldi, our friend paid $10.80 for the biscuit which would normally costs 80c in France, according to Melissa.

貨架上陳列這不少法國的小零食,五顏六色的包裝,餅乾上印有的小國王,感覺回到了朋友童年。在我眼中,雖然這些零食與Aldi的商店十分相似,但我們的朋友花費$10.80澳元買了一包餅乾然我們品嚐品嚐(在法國只需要80c)。

As soon as I saw those handmade fresh lemon cream on this tiny little tart shell, I was powerless. It's mini bite size and perfect for my usual self-discipline nature. Never excess, and almost stick to the bare essential has somehow became our philosophy to the mature woman adulthood.

一旦我在這個小小的撻殼裝載著手工製作的新鮮檸檬奶油,我完全無法抵抗了。它是迷你一口酥的大小,對於怕胖又貪吃又需要自律妹紙,簡直就是完美。

Chai Latte is always a great choice after you've had too many coffee in the day.
如果你今天已經喝了很多杯咖啡,印度香料奶茶拿鐵是總是一個非常好的選擇。

After munching down on the energy boosting snacks, we continue to make our way to the Taronga Zoo.

The hospital @myday loves to take friends to the Taronga Zoo to appreciate the beauty of Sydney. The bird show is the golden part of the Zoo trip. There is no better way to appreciate Australian wildlife with backdrop of Sydney CBD, Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Zoo really made the great effort to train the wild bird and showcase the their most human side to the public - It's truly entertaining experience!

熱情好客的@myday喜歡把朋友帶到Taronga動物園遊玩悉尼。動物園裡的鳥類展覽是最精彩的節目。沒有更好的方式來欣賞澳大利亞的野生動物:一邊看鳥秀,一邊欣賞悉尼標竿背景:悉尼中央商務區,歌劇院和悉尼海港大橋。動物園人員用心培養訓練野鳥,向遊客眾展示野鳥最人性化的一面 - 娛樂,樂趣無窮!

This is the famous iconic celebrity Gina - Wedge tailed eagle in the Taronga Zoo. The majestic Gina has joined the flying show in the zoo since 2015. The zoo was completed to have the Australia's largest bird of prey to showcase the public. The bird of prey are powerful, aggressive, fast, agile, precise and even ravenous at times. Once the eagle eye has seized their prey, there is no mercy on their targets. For wild life raptor photographers like @myday - who worships the bird of prey. There is no better way to appreciate a more lively moment in the wild.

這是Taronga動物園標誌性名人吉娜 - 楔形尾巴鷹。雌性而雄偉的楔形尾巴鷹雄偉的吉娜從2015年起加入了動物園的飛行表演。動物園怎麼可以少了澳大利亞最大的獵物鳥呢。獵物鳥屬性十分強大的,進取的,快速的,敏捷的,精確的,甚至是貪婪的。一旦獵鷹看中了獵物,他們對目標就沒有憐憫。對於野生動物猛禽攝影師@myday 來說最崇拜這種獵物鳥類動物。沒有比捕捉他們在空中獵食那一刻更有生命力。

Meerkat

My first encounter with Meerkats or Timon & Pumbaa was in the movie Life of Pi, one of legend’s favourite movie of all time. The meerkats appeared on the Algae Island was definitely one of the strangest and surreal part of the movie.

說到第一次邂逅狐獴, 也說得上在由李安主導的電影「少年pi的奇幻漂流」,是Legend最愛的電影之一。丁滿和彭彭出現在食人島上,我喜歡叫那海藻島, 這一幕絕對是這本書中最奇怪和超現實的一部分。
