After touring the UN headquarters, it was almost, but a little too early for lunch time.
and we managed to run into the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum's sign along the way.
So, why not? We chose to visit there first.
The Red Cross and the Red Crescent are not two different organizations.
Red Crescent is the alternative symbol for places that are not so comfortable with the cross shape, as in some of the Islamic countries.
From the front desk, we all received my least favorite gadget of all(?) : the audio guide.
and then my friends and I started looking around the museum.
The exhibits were not-so uplifting, because the Red Cross is an organization all about helping those suffering from difficult situations such as wars or natural disasters.
Ooh??
Here's an artwork about Nelson Mandela
I heard some very weird and annoying noise coming from somewhere, and I decided to see what's the source.
Turns out the annoying sound was coming from this "Prepare for the Storm" game thingy.
It was kind of harder than expected.
My friends and I tried it twice and failed both times...
huh??
Now, here's something interesting!
They were the weirdest exhibits about natural disasters I've ever seen.
If the man on the right turns on the fan, that creates a very powerful gale in the image at the center.
If the man on the right pours a bucket of water, that creates a massive flood in the image at the center.
It was a very interesting exhibit.
Anyways, we looked around the rest of the museum and then made our way outside to look for a place to get lunch.
