Author Description

It was the Qingming Festival (April 5, 2014) which is also known as Tomb-sweeping Day. It's a national holiday, so most businesses and schools are closed. I went to the Shanghai Zoo to see the animals and people visiting as well. It is also coming up to the Cherry Blossom Festival, so there was many flowers blooming and decided to take a lot of the scenery shots as well. The money I raise will go to Amazon (of course), my student loans and a group that I worked with called 'One Million Words.'Who is One Million Words? It is run by Dr. Robert Lockler. He at the time of there has been writing about him in Hong Kong, mainland China and even Australian news about him and other events like cleaning Llama Island and re-introducing the green sea turtles, cleaning up ghost nets from Hong Kong harbor, finding old WWII bunkers while cleaning them out, cleaning up other islands with mainly volunteers of foreigners and locals. It brings books, learning materials and more to orphanages and low-income schools. He doesn't get paid for it and uses volunteers with some alternative ways of raising money to buy the supplies that they take to the orphanages and low-income schools.The music is from a cover band called Friction as they played at the Office bar in Shanghai.Link to pictures made into a movie: I had to break the video into three parts. The first one was the taxi ride to and from the zoo and my meal at Big Bamboo. The second video is the first half of the pictures of inside the zoo seeing the people, flowers, reptiles, fish, birds and random sites. The third video is the second half of the pictures inside the zoo that include birds, mammals (pandas, bears, tigers and more), flowers, scenery, rides and of course more people....- Ralph the Rat going to Shanghai Zoo and then Laowai Street 4-5-2014https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=stsMN8UATGk - Ralph the Rat at Shanghai Zoo during the Qingming Festival 4-5-2014 part 1 of 2https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=g263wNH3jww- Ralph the Ra
