un WuKong , also known as the monkey king , had many struggles throughout his adventure . Luckily , he had his weapon stick to protect himself and fight with others in case they thought he was a monster . He can do cool moves and things that no human can do . Thinking , this sounds like Journey to the West , which also makes me think about this journey …. Winnie and her family went to the airport to get their flight to Vancouver . Winnie enjoyed the flight very much as she watched many movies of her favourite . She also enjoyed the meals and the Haegan Dazs ice cream . She didn ' t really sleep much so she was fatigued when she got to Vancouver .
When they arrived , it was stormy , the clouds were as black as a werewolf and the lightning were shinier than 10 lights lighting up together !! They took a taxi to their hotel and it took them around an hour due to the traffic on the highway .
After arriving the room , Winnie put down her bag on the floor and went on the bed to sleep as it was midnight in Hong Kong . ‘ I ’ m too tired to move anymore ’, said Winnie while yawning . Then she fell asleep . The next day , she woke up at 3 in the morning !! Her mom told her it is because she has jet lag as the time in Hong Kong and Vancouver are different . She got out of bed and started getting ready for the day . Today her parents decided to bring her to watch a movie about Journey to the West and visit a zoo . She brought her binoculars , camera and some food and drinks . She was so excited that she was ready in
15 minutes .
While waiting for her parents to wake up , she read a brochure about the zoo and also looked at the map so she was 100 % ready for the trip . When her parents woke up , she rushed her parents to get ready so she has more time to stay at the zoo and enjoy nature . Her parents knew how excited she was so they also quickly got ready .
Accidentally , Winnie fell asleep while reading the brochure . Her dad , Jack , was ready the second she fell asleep . He tried to wake her up but she started snoring , so he and her mom , Ophelia , pulled her out of bed , took her bag and carried her down to the rental car they rent .
Winnie woke up during the car ride . She suddenly panicked and asked her parents , “ Did you take my backpack and binoculars ?”. Ophelia shakes her head and said ,” I took your backpack but I didn ’ t see your binoculars in it …”. “ Why didn ' t you take it ? It was right next to my backpack ! Now it ’ s useless to go to the zoo without binoculars as I can ’ t learn anything about them unless I can see them clearly !”, Winnie said . Jack said ,” Sorry , my daughter , we didn ’ t see it , but I can borrow mine to you as long as I adjust the strap to fit your neck .” “ Ugh .. Fine .. I wanted to go to the zoo to learn and have fun , but now you ruined it . It ’ s at least better that you have spare ones for me ..” Winnie said in an angry voice . She looked out the window and enjoyed the view the rest of the trip . When they arrived the zoo , Winnie stormed out of the car once the car came to a complete stop and paid the zoo entry fee with the money that her parents provided her . After , she went to the farthest end of the zoo and secretly hid for awhile , so that her parents won ’ t find her there . She then continued reading the brochure . After a few minutes , her parents started calling her through her mobile phone .
Luckily , her phone was on silent mode , because her parents recognised her phone ’ s ringtone . She immediately ended the call and heard the announcement ,” Winnie Johnstons , please proceed to the customer service hotline desk to find your parents . Thank you .” She also heard security guards shouting her name ,” Winnie Johnstons !!” She went into a farther end because she wasn ' t at the end of the walkway . She was happy to see a door . Once she passed it , she locked it and put some heavy brooms leaning against the door . She was panting as she ran to the end of the walkway . When she got there , she took a drink of water . She then saw a secret pathway and she headed towards it .
