Just a short note, I added maps in the posts with the panoramas.

This 180 degree panorama is made from pictures taken from the Kowloon public pier between HK cultural center and Star ferry pier in Tsim Sha Tsui.

At least i have seen som aquariums, but maybe not the type i was thinking about.

Im at the moment sitting in my bed in HongKong / Kowloon after being out for a whole day since my arrival this morning.

This is the only fish related picture i have this far, it is a koi fish in the Kowloon park, but i got some information on the flight here that there should be a whole road with aquarium related stuff, I will have to wait and see.

We recently took a trip to the zoo of Borås, that was a quite nice zoo, but of course i wold like it to have a larger aquarium section and a reptile section which was totally missing.

The aquarium section only consisted of three aquariums, one African and two South Americans (one with discus and one with Congo tetra).

When we got out of the house where the aquariums were a couple of chimpanzees were playing next to it, I don’t know if they were both kids or if one were mother and the other a kid.
They had a game where the big one was lying on it’s back with the mouth open and the small one was sticking it’s fingers into it while the large one tried to “bite” it, this was repeated several times and then replaced with other games.

We have been out and driving around a bit in Sweden, thats why there have not been any updates for a while.

There is not any news about the aquarium, mostly due to our late arrival at home today.

This is a fun story from our trip (it’s most fun in Swedish).

We drove along a way and all of a sudden a village sign appeared and the village was Sämstad (translated to English something like “worst town”), it sounded fun ad we joked a bit about it and said it could not be nice to live in the worst town. We drove on and to our surprise the next town was named Brastad (in English something like good town) then we begun to wonder for real about the background of the name and if it had anything to do with good and worst.

The signs is not the actual signs because we drove another way back.
