2 Degree Ice Exhibition

My blog entries are lagging badly! I will try to catch up with updating about several things I had done in Dec 2013. This blog post will be about the 2 Degree Ice Exhibition I went on 14 Dec.

I went back to the office one day and saw that there was corporate discount offered at $24/tix to the company for the 2 Degree Ice Exhibition. I kinda wanted to go there but the regular ticket price really deters me from going. So with the discount, I activated the whole family (just nice my aunt and her family would be in Singapore for holiday) and asked them if there were interested to go. In a rush, I managed to get confirmation from them and gave my order for the tickets on the very same day.

We rented the coat at $5/coat and took a picture together.

The original looks like this:

And it came out like that:

 

We bought the photos for memorial purpose since it's rare that we go out together in such a big group. 

It was really cold inside the big fridge. The personnel outside told us that it was -15 degrees inside but none of us believed it. It felt like 2 degrees at most.

Some sculptures that were displayed in the exhibition:

We went to the exhibition quite early so there wasn't many people around. It would have been embarrassing to try out the slides if it were dominated by kids.

My aunts suggested my sis's bf to kiss the sculpture, literally. But he replied saying that his lips would be stuck there. (if you tried eating ice right after taking it out from the fridge, you would know what I'm saying)

The whole exhibition area was quite small though. We finished the first round within 20 mins and we just spent the rest of the time at the playground and taking pictures around. Some of my relatives and cousins wore shorts and slippers there, so they didn't stay around for too long as their feet would turn numb. As re-entry was permitted, we came out for a short break to "defrost" ourselves first before heading back again for more pictures and fun with the slides.

In total, each of us had to pay $29 for the exhibition and I didn't think that it was worth the price. Nevertheless, it was an one-of-a-kind experience and it's still considered a cheap thrill for something you can only experience in Har Bin (China).
