The water clock. The left part means hour and the right means minute, so it reads ten fifty, about the time I was ready to leave. It was more beautiful at night, with the tubes and the liquid glowing in neon blue.
Someone told me recently that he went to the arbortum right in front of the Science Meuseum which are both only a short distance from my house and he found it really nice, so I decided to check it out the second time during my vacation at home. The first time I went in there was the time it first opened (8 years ago?), and since I don't have a big craze for plants, I never really get on my nerves to go in there, not to mention a visit costs twenty dollars. Anyway, I guessed I'd chosen the wrong time because when I got there, the entrance was crowded with a huge group of tourists and my aspiration of going in was once lessened, but still, while waiting for the crowd to enter I took a short walk outside the arbortum and then went in with my ticket. Inside was air-conditioned, hot, which I should have expected beforehand. There weren't many changes for I could recalled, except for the tiny colorful frogs they exhibited. Well I must say, the arbortum would be quite a quick and short visit for those that are not a big fan of plants, but still it is a good place to check out now and then.

You forgot to mention the giant fish in the basement. They're pretty cool. They feed them at a certain time each day. I forget when.
Also, it's worth taking a trip up to the top platform. The toour guide told us lots of interesting info about what jungle biology. not just about plants.
I have a great picture of Lucas sitting on that plastic frog - so cute!
