Museums tour-with respect & fear


went to Dr Sun Yat-sen museum & Hong Kong museum of medical science yesterday.
Both museums are situated at mid-levels, central, quite easy to find. finally i got to see the well-known escalator.
I came to the museum at the right time, it was free on every Wednesday!
Save me hk$10!

I was never into history, i only managed to score A1 in my 'O'level because i memorised more than 20 essays! Guess i was lucky to spot the correct questions too!
This exhibition that i went to, show the lives and love stories of both Dr Sun and the wife. Though they only managed to spent only 10years together after marriage,but their love for each other was touching. Despite the unstable political situation,they stayed together with each other.

Not only do i admire their strong believe in love, i also like the structure of the buildings. Standing at the wooden staircase, i seem to went back to the 1920s, where i can hear the screaming of the children's voices in the building, and also the footstep of them running up and down.



I only went to this medical museum because i like to watch CSI. it came as a surprise to me when i saw that the building was also made of another Edwardian style.

I was enchanted by the flowers outside it too. though they may not be as beautiful as those in the flower show, but they have their own charm too.

Everything was ok inside, but when i came to the basement, i was not so sure. There, i found myself among the old equipments used during the 1906. learnt so much about plague and smallpox. I was alone walking under the basement, and i had no idea why, it was the only air-conditioned level among all. To make matter worse, there was this mortuary room which used to house corpses. I didn't stayed long cos i was scared.




Guess i was better outside, under the sun, taking photos for the flowers.
It makes me feel alive.
