Me and Wijb decided to hop to Tang Paradise Theme Park. These days the weather is just fine not anymore stifling and not too cool either to stop you enjoy the beauty of nature and we both have a chance to have an extra holiday and off from work.
Tang Paradise park, is a man-made, ecological park with a great ambience with pleasant nice environment in fact. I t is located in South east of Xian city in vast greenish urban area a bit far from pollution and less traffic around.
This Royal park is located in the center of urban ,resort district which is surrounded by couple of parks around ,luxury, exclusive under construction building and villas and on the other site Big Goose Pagoda which is very symbolic and respective in Chinese religious and even though I can say more historical and cultural nowadays.
This tourist attraction not only claims to be the biggest cultural theme park in the northwest region of China but also the first royal-garden-like park to give a full display of the Tang Dynasty's (618-907) culture.
We sat on scooter and got there in less than 15 minutes. Altogether there are 12 scenic spots are distributed to the tourists. The opening hours are from 9 AM to 7 P.M.
There are large number of buildings which are representing the Tang Dynasty structure and architecture. when you get in you can take an English map and it give you not too vague guidance of the area. As far as we heard , there was a large park area on the north site which we passed by and apparently it is represented to the public in 2008.
After crossing the over pass foot bridge you could get to the other site of Paradise park and enjoy the park with a huge man-made lake in front and some paddle boats as well which are part of adventures there.
While we were strolling and staggering around we bumped into a photography exhibition, or open gallery there. There were so many professional photographers and artists there to take photos and interview the artists and a small speech around there and we had a good chance to walk around the exhibition and enjoy of watching remarkable pictures from unknown places in China. Some were totally from outskirt of cities and some were from nature and sands and desserts and grassland from autonomous areas in China which means Mongolia and Xing zing place/
There was a hotel inside and some snack shops, handy crafts market , Chinese paper making ,a tea house and some sculptures which all represent the Tang period atmosphere.
IT IS NICE TO STROLL AND WANDER AROUND A COUPLE OF HOURS AND ENJOY THE NATURE THERE.

Wednesday September 23, 2009
Xi'an is one of China's eight ancient national capitals and the home of the famous Terracotta Army. It served as China’s capital for ten dynasties, spread intermittently over a 1,100 year period from 221 BC. This was the significant year when the first Chinese emperor, Qin Shihuang, united China for the first time. China derives its name from Emperor Qin.
One of not so well -developed and well- known attractions in Xian is located in South east of Xian in outskirt a couple kilometer far from the center.
Today Wednesday 23 of September me and wijb decided to hop on the scooter and hit that place which is called “Ocean Park “ on the spot as the weather is quite pleasant and not scorching or balmy anymore.
Although he looked up for the direction we were wondering exactly how to get there, which is not so astonishing, anyhow.
After couple of minutes we stopped by a hotel and with my broken Chinese , asking for map finally ,I could somehow figure out how to get there.
Anyhow we passed by of bunch of empty ,under construction buildings which can call them “pretty luxury types”and exclusive district.
That neighborhood was kind of foppish and elegance in matter of being clean and green and architecture of building and street was entirely new and more likely Western style. Some high blocks and some just couple of floors and presumably like villa style by the end of construction will be appeared.
Immediately after that we both were thinking if we could live there. well it was a nice area but in compare with out residential ,good-class ,dwelling area as we have everything around and handy and green enough ,I bet we wouldn’t switched our place at all.
By the time we arrived there was almost eleven-ish and we got the ticket with half price which was a pleasant surprised and got in. It was totally manifest and tangible empty as we expected at this season. I am sometimes wondering if these kind for places are popular enough in china and lucrative for the organization or not at all.
Ocean park was not too big in comparison with the one we saw in Dali an and Shanghai and the one I visited in Kuala Lumpur(Malaysia) which was fantastic in matter of size and variety of things and more important being natural which is something a visitor of nature expect that.
The point is with a surveillance of observing things as equipments marine animals statues and so on, were made of plastic type. Everything together were compiling more likely a photo album which you are glancing through .In some points was totally funny and eye-catching though.
Some other thing which was dragging our attention was couple of funny, baloney path notes, for instance : “the way to the Marine life”. There was nothing alive there, not even one small Marine animal,
as a symbol.
We passed by an area which we presumed they are trying to show Aliens flew over arctic as we could see a symbol of aliens and a UFO there. For us was kind of irritating and in funny side irrelevant to the Park theme!.
In total was quite fun and kind peaceful adventure to be out and compare places in different societies as we travel and pass by.

Comments about ER T.V series:
Monday September 28, 2009 it has been already a month passed from our faculty meeting to greet us back to work. I have already had a 10 day work and then been almost 10 days off from work due to closing the university campus which is affected by Swine flu.
More over upcoming October national holiday which is a week and might be more for us due to our weekends off in additional gives me chances to study other languages and back to my art and painting a bit more.
Today after a big shopping day and got our free moon cakes from management office I am back to write down about another T.V series which I do adore and kind of addicted.
I have always been fascinated by good T.V series
We are watching DEADWOOD and ER as I wrote on my last Blog about Deadwood. For now I am going through ER.
All the actions in ER TV series happen in a hospital and there enormous numbers of patients any type, to come there and hospitalized for short or longer periods.
I can say as I have been trough couple of it’s seasons it is particularly active ,strong characters ,authentic actions and some synopsis are competitive by bringing new doctor and surgeons who are ambitious and make it more colorful and harder to judge and digest the movie. I do like these cases which I have to kind of find out and make comment in the end of each episode abut what has happened and what could happen in reality. Its Set largely in the emergency room of Chicago's fictional County General Hospital, ER focused on the professional and personal trials and tribulations of the unit's staff,
The point is this series is really realistic as it happened if you hop into one of the hospitals and take your web cam and get some nice shots of what they do. Physician training remained a major focus all season. Viewers were frequently invited to consider different aspects of the residents' professional development. In some parts even you don’t see the nurses as their actions have been totally captures by physicians. Even if what they do sometimes facing with wrath from physicians.
In some episode sadly ,you see how much nurses are down to their senior physicians and mostly if any errors happened from the juniors they jus give a report to the seniors ,instead of giving to the intern doctors chances to learn from their mistakes and not just cover it, which in reality doesn’t happened as often like that.
I quite like one of the characters he is a young senior intern surgeon who has married for couple of years and his life nowadays is so much ups and downs and can call it “falling apart”, cause he has been offered to a higher position for next year and his wife is a young lawyer who is seeking for more options and chances in her life, This couple are a great symbol of a lot of ambitious,, over educated families who mostly consider their position and forget about priorities in life and when they get it which is too late.
He has so many obstacles in front of him and kind of discomforting him, but after a high, sever accident with one of his patients he is awaking from a deep sleep and try to take a proper ,accurate decision for his life.
The bottom line has usually been that the physicians' role is unrealistically large and robust, and the nurses' role correspondingly small and flat. In dramatic terms, the physicians are the tragic heroes, while the nurses are essentially members of the cast.
It has been one of the successful TV. series so far cause of high quality of acting ,variety of senses and strong character including brings new stores line every time to the audiences ,something have to say ,not just junk,
