Pazuva rangu rekuchinja pakati pemaawa makumi maviri nerimwe ekubhururuka kuti ndisvike pano uye kutanga kwemusangano, ndakadya masikati nemunyori uye murairidzi wepamusoro Alison Lester ndokutaura nezvebasa rake, uye bhuku rake idzva Restroom Reflections: Kukurukurirana Kunoshandura Zvese (zviripo. ye Kindle paAmazon).

Zvadaro, ndakanga ndava neshungu dzokuenda kunoona tsvarakadenga yeSingapore Maritime Experiential Museum uye Aquarium (yakavhurwa mwedzi mina chete yapfuura). Ndichisvika ndakabva ndapinda muqueue kuti ndipihwe tikiti rekupinda, ndakamira mumutsara mumwe murume akanga akapfeka uniform akabvunza kuti ndini ani, ndinobva kupi, uye nei ndiri kuno kushanya nezvimwewo. Ndakamuudza, achibva akati huya neni . . . Chinhu chinotevera chandinoziva, ndiri kupihwa rwendo rwemunhu rweMEMA.

Iyo museum yakavakirwa kutenderedza nzendo dzeAdmiral Zheng He mukutanga 1400s pamwe chete negungwa nzira yesiririka yakagadziridzwa pakati peChina nenyika dziri kure seEast Africa. Iyo museum inocherekedza kuti angangove ndiye wekutanga kuwana America, asi kuti zvinyorwa zvakaparadzwa. Iyo museum inosanganisira mhando dzezvikepe zvepfuma, chikamu chakazara saizi replica, uye inotarisisa pazvinhu zvinotengeswa munzira yegungwa sirika. Muperekedzi wangu anonongedzera kunyanga dzeRhino nenyanga dzenzou uye anocherekedza kuti hazvichatengeswi nokuda kwemapoka anorwira kodzero dzemhuka. Saizvozvo, anondiratidza muroyi wenyoka anobva kuIndia, tswanda yaro nenyere (achitsanangura kuti Mhungu hainzwi, uye kuti kurira kwenyare ndiko kunoita kuti mhuka idhambe); asi anocherekedza kuti tsika iyi yave kurambidzwa nekuda kwemapoka ekodzero dzemhuka. Asi zvizhinji zvezvimwe zvigadzirwa zvinoshamisa kuona uye zvinonakidza kudzidza kuti zvakabva kupi uye kwenguva yakareba sei zvakatengeswa - zvinonhuwira, matombo anokosha, sirika, mabhasikiti uye porcelains pakati pezvimwe zvinhu zvakawanda.

Iyo museum yakavaka patsva 9th yezana Omani Dhow inoratidzwa mukati memiziyamu, uye zvimwe ngarava mbiri dzedunhu dzakasungwa kunze pakutanga kwechiteshi chengarava chenhoroondo. Mamwe matatu anofanirwa kuunzwa kubva kuSingapore (museum iri paSentosa), uye ichawedzerwa munguva pfupi, kusanganisira Chinese Junk. Iyo museum yakazadzwa nezviratidziro zvine hungwaru. Zvizhinji zvinokutendera kuti utumire email kuedza kwako kwapera (sekugadzira yako jira remachira) kwauri. Iyo ine zvakare chiitiko chechamupupuri chinosanganisira inenge 3D, 360o dhigirii (simulated) firimu rekare reChinese chikepe chekutakura chakarasika muDutu. Imba yese yemitambo inofamba, kugomera kwehuni, uye mafungu paanoputika kumativi echikepe tose tinopfapfaidzwa nemvura yemunyu.

Sezvatinobva munhandare yemitambo, tinofamba tichipinda mune imwe nzvimbo yakanyatsoratidzwa yezvokuchera matongo pasi pemvura uye kuputsika kwechikepe kubva munharaunda iyi. Inoshamisa yakaitwa uye yakatsanangurwa zvakanaka (masaini akanaka kwazvo). Nguva yakanakisa, iyo yakandishamisa zvachose, ndeyekuti tinouya nekona uye mumwe mukadzi wechidiki akamira pedyo netafura yakafukidzwa nezvinhu zvakabva pakaputsikirwa nengarava. Ndinopihwa magirovhosi ekuvhiya ndobva ndanzi nditore ndoongorora chidimbu chimwe nechimwe. Kubva pane kanoni kaduku kemaoko (icho chaishandiswa kusvika munenge muna 1520), kusvika kubhokisi reupfu remukadzi, kusvika kune zvakasiyana-siyana zvehari. Zvinhu zvose zvinofungidzirwa kuva nemakore anopfuura 500, uye zvishomanana zvakapetwa katatu. Ndechimwe chinhu kutarisa uye kugadzirira nezvenhoroondo, chimwe chinhu kuibata muruoko rwako.

Iyo aquarium chikamu cheMEMA chakarongerwa kuvhurwa gare gare gore rino, uye ichave yakakura kwazvo yati yambovakwa, uye ichave yakabatana nepaki yegungwa ine Orca uye dolphin vanoita (paki yakarongwawo kuve yakakura pasi rose). Pandakabvunza mibvunzo yakasiyana-siyana pamusoro pekuti dingindira raive rei, muperekedzi wangu akataura nemoyo wese kuti nekuti isu muUSA tine aquariums nemapaki emugungwa, akafunga kuti ivo vanofanirawo. Aive asingazivi nezvenzvimbo kana imwe dingindira remugungwa. . . Ainyatsoziva kuti paive nemakakatanwa ekuisa mhuka pazviratidziro, kunyanya kana dzichizove vatambi. Uye, nepo vamwe venyu vangasabvumirana pamusoro pekuti mapaki emugungwa akadaro anofanira kuvapo zvachose, ndakatanga nefungidziro yekuti iyi pfungwa yaive kure nemugwagwa. Saka, nekuchenjerera kwakawanda, mazwi ezvematongerwo enyika ndakamupwisa kuti kuisa mhuka pakuratidzira kazhinji ndiyo nzira chete iyo vanhu vanojairana nezvisikwa zvemugungwa. Nemamwe mashoko, vaya vairatidzwa vaiva vamiririri vevaya vaiva musango. ASI, kuti vaifanira kusarudza noungwaru. Zvisikwa zvaifanira kuva izvo zvakanga zvakawanda musango, kuitira kuti kutora zvishomanene kunze kwaisazodzivisa kana kuti kudzivisa izvo zvinosara musango kubereka nokuzvitsiva zvimene pamwero unokurumidza kupfuura kubviswa kwazvo. UYE, kuti hunhapwa hwaifanirwa kuve nehunhu uye kuve nechokwadi kuti hapazove nezvinodiwa zvekuramba uchienda kunokohwa dzimwe mhuka dzekuratidzira.

Mangwana musangano unotanga!
