Even the squirrels not on the UCLA campus, but in the Westwood neighborhood will come up really close.

So at the 2008 Beijing Paralymics, they had these things that looked like toy cars that you could stick the javelins in, then use a remote to drive it up and down the range. They didn’t work all that well…

Victoria Peak is a beautiful vantage point in Hong Kong, but boy is that a steep ride up!

So this is how the tram mechanism works!

And then the descent, offering beautiful views of the harbor.

Their little legs are so knobbly and unstable! There’s something very cute about their awkwardness. 🙂

You know how catnip makes cats go crazy (in a good, happy way)? Well, this tree apparently is just as good-tasting to elephants as catnip is to cats. When I went elephant-riding, my elephant tried to break off some to eat, but that was a sturdy branch.

Air hockey spinning top

We somehow decided to try spinning the air hockey paddles as tops and they turned out to be really good! Note how well they self-correct and save themselves from spinning out of control multiple times. Maybe top tips should be round instead of pointy.

I’m tempted to put some water in the center. Wouldn’t that be cool?

When I got my very own crystal cabin going up to Ngong Ping, I couldn’t resist lying down on the ground and enjoying the feeling of floating (kinda).
