Not so much
By jeni | September 26, 2008
I tried to go see the Chinese Gardens yesterday. Operative word being tried.
I got in a taxi, made it down there and everything, but apparently I didn’t do my research well enough. At the Chinese Garden, the lantern festival is just winding down, so what is normally free admittance was going to be not free and what I was going to get to see was not just the garden, but some sort of Hello Kitty Lantern monstrosity. Or it could have been nice. It might have been a beautiful Hello Kitty Lantern non-monstrosity, but I opted not to pay the fee to go inside.
Instead, my friend and I just walked around, down the path toward what was supposed to be the Japanese Garden. We never could tell if we got there or not – I just assumed that some of the trees and plants bordering the path were of Japanese origin, thus the name Japanese Garden, but I may never know.
I think I’ll stick to going to the Botanic Gardens from now on. Definitely not worth the taxi fare. Feh.
On the plus side, I did get to see Li Garden Fishead Steamboat.
