"Ling, Qiao, get up!!"
"...Shit... my pulse almost stopped because of you..."
"I got up…"Li Qiao turned on the fully charged mobile phone, habitually looked at LINE before turning over and getting out of bed, took out the travel toiletry bag in the suitcase, and walked slowly to the bathroom.
"Ling!"
"The pulse is still restarting. "Yu Ruoling rubbed her eyes with a bird's nest-liked on her head, "I will remove my orthokeratology lenses first."
In her hand was a small box of toiletry bags, similar to Li Qiao's, as if she was carrying a cannon. Yu took a deep breath and said, "The air in Sydney is not bad in the morning."
"We are still in the hotel, miss. Are you still sleepy?"
Li Qiao gargled water and buried her face in the cool towel, "Where should we go for breakfast?"
"Let's go see if there is a breakfast shop near King Cross Station!"Yu Xiaoyu unplugged the charging cable of the WIFI connector, "I've turned on the Internet connection."
Yu took the lead and came out of the bathroom. She opened the curtains on the side of the bed and narrowed her eyes slightly to focus on a white building not far away.
The sun was a little bright, and the reflection was irritating. She only glanced at it and looked away, but that brief glance still allowed her to clearly see the world-famous building outside - the Sydney Opera House.
"I never thought I would sleep next to this big shell one day."
"Haha, "Yu Xiaoyu said with a smile, "we have to stay here for a week, and tomorrow or the day after tomorrow you will start 'Why is it the Sydney Opera House again?'"
It felt too luxurious..., she twitched her mouth, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to be missing something, so she glanced around and saw the clock on the wall.
Yu Ruoling:"...(Feel like my life has been shortened by two hours for no reason)"
Today's weather is as good as the day before yesterday, with a little more clouds and a little stronger wind. She looked at the blue sky, which was probably six-tenths covered with white clouds.
Fortunately, they brought umbrellas before setting off from Taiwan. Although it is summer in Sydney - winter in the northern hemisphere - there is more rainfall, but it is always good to be just in case. As for Sydney, which has not had any rain so far, the weather is extremely humid.
Although she still doesn't understand why it's still so hot here even in autumn..., at least the navy blue automatic umbrella has fulfilled its function. But she doesn't know if it can block ultraviolet rays or something.
She followed in the footsteps of her mother and aunt and got off the boat. Yu just took a lot of photos along the way... along the promenade, and basically half of the ten photos were of the Sydney Opera House cut in half.
The boat was moving very fast, and they were splashed with a few drops of seawater from time to time while sitting in the stern.
The destination is a small island zoo in the offshore area. As the name suggests, the entire island is almost a zoo. It's modest in size, but still quite impressive.
The three of Yu's family followed the signboard of the zoo, and finally came to the fork into the ticket gate, but seeing that the direction on the signboard was completely opposite to that on the map in the manual, they had to stop.
Eat bananas and drink yogurts.
"Wow, where are we going next?"
A half-peeled banana in Li Qiao's hand was exuding a strong fragrance, "Hey, Taiwanese bananas have better taste to eat."
"Of course, Taiwanese fruits are very popular abroad. "Yu Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and stretched her calf muscles against the bench, "Ling, there is a policeman directing traffic over there, you go and ask."
Seeing the direction that Auntie was pointing to, Yu let out an "oh" and walked over.
Based on the fact that she handled everything during the flight to Sydney - whether it was luggage check-in, customs, passport and fingerprint checking, taking a taxi - Yu Ruoling feels that she is no different from a Australian now.
She is like a white person with an Asian skin, and she communicates well with her compatriots. At this moment, she was going to ask for directions again.
Inexplicably, she recalled the helpless mood she felt when her aunt said with a wicked smile before departure.
'Ling, I'll leave the language difference part to you.'
At that moment, not only twitched her mouth, but also wanted to fight her aunt off.
"Excuse me?"The girl waved at the policeman and asked, "Where can I buy the Teronga zoo's ticket?"
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"Go right and keep it straight;five minutes."
"Thank you."
As she walked back, she waved to Li Qiao and Yu Xiaoyu who were looking over, "Go straight to the right, and you will see it in about five minutes."
"Ok~ Let's go then~"
"Your English seems to have improved!"Li Qiao threw the banana peel into the trash can on the shoulder of the road, "By the way, Xiaoyu, what is the name of this zoo?"
"It's a bit difficult to pronounce in English, but it's called this in Chinese."Yu Xiaoyu looked at the park map she had received in advance, typed a few times on the keyboard of her phone, and showed it to Li Qiao.
Yu Ruoling leaned over to take a look and suddenly thought. She used phonetic notation to mark the English words that she couldn't pronounce when she was a child. Unexpectedly, this method was quite effective. Even if some people say that this kind of learning method is not feasible for the International Phonetic Alphabet, some even say that it is impossible to learn English with natural pronunciation.
But she still learned it this way.
At least people in English-speaking countries understand what did she say.
"Whoa!What is this?"
What 'what is this'? Yu Ruoling turned her head to look blankly. A palm-sized firefly black butterfly was facing her eyes, and it landed gracefully on the low glass wall of the red panda area.
Butterfly. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and almost used all her strength not to jump three feet high and penetrate the atmosphere.
It's really bullshit, she can still accept that kind of mini pink butterfly -
- This is big!The palm-liked big!And it’s a butterfly aaaaahhhh!!!!
Butterfly!!!Her absolute nemesis in this life!It’s so disgusting!FUCK!
"...Ew..."In the end, she only uttered this strange final particle that contained thousands of emotions.
"Ling, do you want to take a picture?"Yu Xiaoyu pointed at the butterfly with her mobile phone and took several pictures. By the way, she grabbed Li Qiao to take a selfie together.
The butterfly obediently remained motionless, like the puff marin in the herbarium.
Several other Chinese tourists walked around it, and they could be identified as Shanghainese from their accent and language.
"No, no, "Yu hastily refused, "a creature like a butterfly, to me, can only be seen from a distance and not played with."
She said the sentence in classical Chinese.
Amidst the laughter of her aunt and mother, she continued to be surrounded and walked to the next park. Slightly felt a few eyes staring at her from behind.
Needless to say, they must be the Shanghai tourists who just heard her say something in classical Chinese.
Having said that, what surprised her most about the Teronga Zoo was not the Australian native species that could not be seen in Taiwan - not even the zoo - but a "fence-free wildlife park" that can accommodate about 200-250 people.
As the name suggests, tourists can come face to face with the animals without any barriers in between. She could even feel the breeze caused by the gentle flapping of the wings of Australia's national treasure, the emu, as it passed by.
Yu Ruoling took advantage of the emu to stop just three steps away from her eyes, quickly took out her phone, clicked on the camera and took a photo with it. It's such a cool animal that looks like an ostrich but doesn't an ostrich. It would be a shame not to remember it. She comforted herself.
Because she - Yu Ruoling, who is still a dwarf at 153.5 centimeters, has three things she hates most.
Selfies, selfies and selfies.
Regardless of whether there are duplicate options, she really hates taking selfies anyway.
Looking at the emu, which was almost as tall as her, Yu Ruoling sincerely hoped that its long pointed beak would not poke into her eyes. Although the emu in the textbook is a fairly gentle creature, distance brings beauty.
As a modern Homo sapiens, she should stop harassing it.
By the time the three of them had finished walking through the fenceless park, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon local time in Sydney.
Li Qiao and Yu Xiaoyu touched their stomachs in unison and said at the same time.
Feeling a little hungry, let's go have dinner!
She looked at her mother and aunt who took out their mobile phones and started making various inquiries, and couldn't help but slip three black lines hung from her forehead.
...Who said she had dinner at 3:30 p.m. the day before yesterday is too early??

In the quiet Class 10th of third grade, this chatting group on LINE consisted of stinky kids finally couldn't help holding a complaint meeting in here after going through the nightmare of even having to take tutoring on the first day of the Qingming holiday.
Junior high school students are at the age where they inexplicably like to eat instant noodles for all three meals. When a group of people were eating all kinds of instant noodles angrily while using messages to washing chatting page and had been realistic silent in reality for a long time, their Facekook messages were sent out at the same time.
Yue Yifei sent a series of spots, and then left a message.
'Everyone, I advise you not to read it, this is definitely a post that makes us envious and jealous.'
'...I clicked down...Please mourn for me...'
'So poor Guo Zhiang, but if you don't seek death, you won't die, hehehehe~'
'Shut up Zu Yuxin, even if he is seek death, I still wanna know what kind of post is it?'
In the past three days, they discovered an interesting fact:every day at two o'clock in the afternoon, the carefree person would post a diary post about her morning travel itinerary on time, and at eight o'clock in the evening, she would post a diary post about her afternoon travel itinerary.
It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, so there is no need to think that the news must be from that person.
'This guy of my zodiac sign, who was born only four days after me, was standing in the Sydney Opera House in one of our school long-sleeved unifor…oh, that was yesterday. She seems to be taking a photo with an animal, a bit like an ostrich, does anyone know what it is?'
Jian Fuyao was sucking on the instant noodles, and seeing this message, she couldn't help squinting her eyes and thought that those who had been in the same class with her for three years were idiots.
'Emu, Australia's national treasure bird, are you not in class of geography?'
The Chatting group was silent for a few seconds, and then it was like a pressure cooker that exploded.
'Wow!Guo Zhiang, you are roasted!'
'Wow, Jian Fuyao is such a dick!'
'Shh, don't scold rude words, upstairs, but our gifted students are performing normally as usual(smiling face).'
'Fuck!Chen Qian, don't make it seem like you don't swear!'
'Shut up, Hong Weiming Mushroom Head, oh no, it's Watermelon Head, don't make it look like you're not a Mushroom Head.' 'Where the logic is?!!'
'What you just said is even more illogical, okay?' Yue Yifei took a sip of papaya milk coolly, and quickly tapped the screen with her fingers, 'How about grammar, classmate?Are you really a Taiwanese??'
Mushroom head classmate was hit by an arrow in the heart and lost 183,377 drops of blood, fell to the ground and died.
'Oh, oh..., ' Wu Jiaying looked at Hong Weiming, who was pretending to vomit blood, and wrote gloatingly, 'he is next to me. He met a big boss of SSR+ level, and he died.'
'Pfft...'x26
A group of people in Class 10th, Grade 3, laughed until their abdominal muscles almost exploded.
What a knife in the back, Jian Fuyao's spiritual assault is simply wiping Hong out.
...
"??"
Yu Ruoling looked blankly at the 759+ messages in the class' chatting group, and almost choked a mouthful of goat milk into her lungs.
So.
What the hell is going on?
