Day 26: One World - One Panda!

How cool is that!

1. My door knob / lock is repaired! The janitors did a good job.
2. My toilette is working again - and that only because of continuous flushing.
3. In our dormitory canteen they have an English menu.
4. My computer is updated fine now.
5. And I ionized all the mosquitoes in my room using Kung-Fu skills.
   

But how f****** up is that then?

And here comes what you are waiting for - my zoo story ;-)

I had to wake up at 7:30, this is when the zoo opens. After an easy breakfast and my daily dose of drugs (just for strengthening my immune system) I was forced to go outside - just as everyday - because the cleaning lady knocked on my door like crazy and already spilled water all over. Although she does so, my room is never really clean.
Outside I had not much to do - just the same as it is everyday. So I just sat at one place from where people can't see me that good. (There is no place where I can hide totally here in China)
Staring at the wall. The first visitors just arrived and of course they all looked at me. I am special...
At noon I have to get my lunch from the other side of my garden. So, I have to walk all the way to there - lots of visitors start flashing at me. They scream and trow things at me - sometimes it is actually eatable. They blind me with little laser pointers and knock on my window. My friends also hang around, but we don't do anything at all. Its just so boring and we don't have that much space. Sometimes I poo poo in front of all these annoying Chinese. That makes them totally go crazy... Fortunately all that row is over at 5 PM, but now we have to listen to socialism lectures held by the zoo director.
Finally my day is over at 7 PM. I am hungry now, but the canteen has closed - I assume that is because they want us to eat more over the day. With a nice soporific shot I fade away and I dream of... nothing!
Who I am? I am the pride of Beijing zoo, the national animal. I am the Giant Panda.


So, what?! The Giant Panda shouldn't really complain - the wolfs and some other colleagues had it much worse...

In the zoo I took of cause also some pictures - here is a selection:

BTW: A Panda walks into a bar, interrupting a heated argument between two customers. The bartender turns to the Panda and says, "Hey, just the guy we needed! Tell Ollie and Neville here... are you a bear or some kind of raccoon dog" The Panda reflects this for a moment and replies, "Hmmn. You know, not everything is black and white like that."
