The day started with bright sun shine and the first trip to the Laundromat, I hope the only one on this holiday. Since my runners were falling to bits and my mother needed some walking shoes we went to buy some shoes and I really do feel we get ripped off in Australia and the UK, the general cost of shoes being 200 dollars/100 pounds in the US the price in the region of 100 us dollars which is the equivalent to 120 dollars/50 pounds for pair of the exact same Nike runners.
After a sushi train lunch and yes my mother’s first experience of a sushi train, strange how you have to go all the way out of your way to experience some fairly mundane things, well mundane for me yes after lunch we went to the OMSI, the oregan museum of science and industry. Full of everything to do with science from physics to chemistry, there were things you could push, pull, twist and generally play with it.
The most impressive exhibit they had (of which no photos were allowed) was the prenatal exhibit. This showed from conception onwards of the various stages of growth a foetus goes through when it grows. All the vary stages shown of the foetus’s development were actually real, although it never specified where they came from.
