Went to the zoo today for an interview with a vet. This was like my first visit to the zoo after like 10+ years? The zoo changed a lot, though the general feeling is still the same - tropical rainforest, a lot of weird animals and lots of visitors...
The vet is really a very very nice man. He brought us around the new animal hospital - normally out of bounds to visitors. Got to see the operating theatre, the wards, the highly-advanced X-ray machine, as well as all the various hi-tech equipment and research labs. That took about an hour. Then only the interview started. Of course we came prepared - with a whole list of 20+ questions for him. Bet he was a bit shocked when we first took out the list :P He was very willing to share his expertise with us, and he even gave us a crash course on Chinese acupuncture! We took turns to bombard him with questions, and the whole interview process took about 1+ hour. We used a tape recorder to tape his voice, but apparently we forgot to check the duration of a tape - about half an hour, and we only realised that the recorder had run out of tape after an hour! =.= So that means half of the interview gone... and I dunno how to make up for it, except for some notes that we took down...
After the interview, he kindly told us that we were free to roam in the zoo if we wanted! Wow, free admission to the zoo! Wahaha, was so happy. :D Then, as we were walking, he somehow caught up with us in a mini truck, and asked us whether we wanted to hitch a ride! OMG, he was SO NICE!!! >.< Then he became our personalised tour guide as we took a quick tour around the zoo. (*a service that you can rarely get*) Too bad it was near the closing time and we only got to stay for about half an hour.
Before we left, we thanked him again and again, and we felt really guilty for only giving him a box of chocolate that SUPPOSEDLY cost $40+... OMG, such nice people are really rare nowadays. Maybe that's why he is in the zoo - an endangered species.
