Off to scoop panda poop
Yes, seriously.
I’m off to Guangzhou, China in the morning, on my way to four days of volunteer work at the Wolong Panda Conservation Centre, and of course to see my panda daughter, Yoong Ping, and hopefully, Hua Mei, too, who’s in confinement after giving birth to her third set of twins in July.
The work will include cleaning panda areas and enclosures, preparing food for the pandas such as carrots, apples, panda bread and other nutritional biscuits, carrying lots of bamboo, and maybe even helping to collect behavioral data.
In Guangzhou, I’ll be visiting Hua Mei’s father, Shi Shi, at the Guangzhou Zoo.
On the way back, I’ll have about three days in Chengdu, to take in some tourist sites, as well as visit the Chengdu Panda Reserve.
Yup, it’s going to be a panda holiday for me.
