Maymont Park

on the second day, we didn't had to report to our workplace yet and so we decided to go out and explore richmond... to go to maymont park! it's sorta like botanical gardens of theirs.. with like wildlife and plants.. very quiet, pleasant and pretty place.


to get there... we were waiting at the bus stop near our place. their buses come in like once in an hour... so we had to check their bus guide sorta thing to determine the timing of the buses.


here comes our bus... luckily we didn't miss it!


because the place was quite ulu.. we had to transfer bus twice to reach. it was really pretty confusing as we were not familiar with their bus system, plus the fact that they only came at certain timings. this was one of the stops at which we transferred.


on board their GRTC bus.


after quite a troublesome journey.. we finally reached this pretty beautiful plot of land...


with nice trees...


and plants...


say cheeze! woah.. does feel much cooler under the shade!

there's not much caption to put under each... so i'll just post some of the pictures that we took that day. :)









all in all, the weather was really good and it was quite an enjoyable time. we ended our day with dinner at a chinese restaurant at... uh west broadway street? haha i'm not sure what exactly it is called but it's about a short 5 mins bus ride from our place.


i paid US$7 for a large portion of shrimp fried rice with iced tea... i thought it was really worth it cuz there were lotsa shrimps and the share was VERY BIG. it was about 2 times of the normal zi cha we get at the coffeeshop. should have shared but we didn't know it was so big... and i almost died eating it. so FULL. the boss was a honkie who was really nice though cuz we were all chinese. hehez. tiring but quite a fun day.
