Saturday, I went to the zoo with a bunch of other Shijiazhuangers and Jake. We walked around the train station for an hour looking for the number 5 bus. When we found it, we crammed into it on our long ride into the countryside. The zoo was definitely the biggest I’ve ever been to and it was beautiful. There were mountains and lakes and it was kind of nice for some of the animals. For the bigger animals, it wasn’t so nice because they were in much smaller cages with thick bars. There weren’t that many animals out, I’m not sure why. But there was one fun thing we got to do; some of us paid 5 or 6 kuai to get sticks with fish attached to string at the end of them to feed the crocodiles. I think 3 people did it. It was the most entertaining when Lindsey did it because when she would raise the stick to get the fish away from the crocodiles, she would flip the fish over our heads and splash nasty water on us. When big papa croc got her fish, she got into a tug-of-war with the croc so she could get the stick back and not flip over the bridge we were on. Caroline helped her win back the fishing stick.
