Dear Sam

I had a really good time in Hong Kong. Ocean Park was amazing! It’s a shame that you were ill. I hope you’re getting better now!When we arrived, we took a cable car to Marine Land straight away to see a show at the Ocean Theatre. Dad and I enjoyed riding in the cable car, but Mum didn’t like it. She closed her eyes as soon as she got in the cable car and didn’t open them until she got off! Dad sat beside her, but it didn’t make her feel better.

We ate lunch at a restaurant after the show. Then, we visited the Sea Jelly Spectacular. The jellyfish were fascinating! I enjoyed watching them ---- it was very relaxing.

My favourite part of the day was going on the rides! At first, Dad said he loved to go on rides.

However, after he went on The Dragon, he refused to go on any other rides, so I went on The Abyss by myself. lt was much more exciting than The Dragon!

Unfortunately the weather became cold and rainy, so we couldn’t visit all the attractions. Next time l`m in Hong Kong. I’ll go to Ocean Park again --- I’ll visit the other attractions then. I hope you’ll come with me!

Bye for now

Li Ming

PS I’m including some photos and an article about the Sea Jelly Spectacular that I cut out of yesterday’s newspaper.
