Museum Love
Yesterday I went to the Musée des Beaux-Arts to see their newly-arrived exposition of the Terracotta Army. It was amaaaaaaaaaazing, I really like it. I don't know why I find such joy and wonder in seeing pieces of rocks... OH, maybe it's because some of them have been there for over 2500 years? Maybe. :P
I have to admit I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the Egyptian exhibition when I went to the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Québec City in 2008 with Neesa, Anf & Lena, but that's just because I have a soft spot for Egypt. WHICH, by the way, has just managed to get rid of their tyrannical president after being in power since 1981. WOO! Go Egypt!! I love it when people come together. =) And this may be highly internet-unethical, because I don't know who it's by, but I loved this picture that someone shared on Facebook:

Back to the point though, the museum exhibit was sooo good. The thing that I liked most about it though had nothing to do with the exhibit itself. I saw a buuunch of Chinese parents with their kids there, I thought it was sooo sweet and it really reminded me of when my dad took me to the Gold Museum when I was about 7 years old. Especially because its your own culture you know? I don't know, there's something special about looking at something and knowing that it pertains to you a little bit more than it does to everybody else. It makes you think about your great-great-great-grandparents, and what it would've been like to be them.
It also makes you think about leaving as many traces as you can in this world for younger generations to know who you were, so you're not forgotten. Hence this journal? Maybe... :P
P.S.: Shout out to titelyd for having woken me up to go! ^^
