NightSafari

Please contact Olga at olga.zamaraeva at gmail, if you would like to go to Night Safari, which is a special zoo that opens at night! We can go Thursday or Friday night, I just want to make sure everyone knows about it :). We will probably need to go by taxi, but it is not very far, I expect it to be perhaps around $10 per person, if 3 people share a cab? (I don't really know, but it should not be much more). The zoo itself is a bit pricey: $42 I think, but it sounds really cool. There is a restaurant there, or we can eat somewhere first and then go. It is open till midnight.

Ned: According to Mike, the early (7:30pm) tickets are booked out (also for Friday), which means the remaining tickets are for 9:30pm.

Olga: Oh, that's great that Mike checked that! I would still go, even at 9:30. It does take some time to get there, and dinner also takes time, so it even makes sense to do it at 9:30. Although -- I thought there where just walking paths there, not only tram tours? But I guess they might just restrict the number of tickets anyway.

Update from Olga: I suspect that the online tickets are for the show. I would OK with not watching the show or with not doing the tram ride, for that matter (people write in reviews they had to stand in line for an hour and a half for the tram), and just do the walking trails. It seems like going there after 9 pm is still a good idea, as there may be fewer people. Looks like maybe Melanie and I are going today after dinner, so join us!

Further (final?..) update from Olga:

In the end, I think we're not going this time... I called them, and the person on the phone actually said she doesn't recommend that we come until the 10th, because it is going to be extremely crowded and the wait will be 2-3 hours (!). So... I think we should do something else tonight, like go to the city.
