Today was my last day at the Chengdu Panda Base.
In the morning I went to see all the Pandas to say
"See you soon" (not "Good Bye"), and then went to
no 14 Enclosure to see "my Pandas".
I was taking care of 幸浜(XingBang) and
秋浜(QiuBang) for more than two months.
Thank you Project Panda and the Panda Base
for giving me such a wonderful opportunity as Pambassador.
幸浜(XingBang) came to say "Hi" to me as usual
when I went there and called his name in Japanese.
"KOHIN!!"
(Some tourists copy me and call his Japanese name
together with me)
"HELLOOOOO"
He is trying to reach out to shake hands with me.
I invited all the Pambassador's assistants for lunch.
From left to right Researcher Harry, my great assistant Xian Bo,
photographer Cui Kai, me, Ashley's assistant Yimei,
David's assitant Yafei, QuJing, and CiCi's assistant Miao.
Ali's assistant Sophie couldn't come because it was her day off.
Thank you all so much for giving me the support!!!
I love you all, and see you soon!
In the afternoon, I went to take care of 幸浜(XingBang) and
秋浜(QiuBang).
First we went to give 秋浜(QiuBang) Panda Cakes.
"HELLOOOOOO, it's time for Panda Cakes, isn't it?
Thanks for coming to me first, I was waiting for you!"
"HaHaHa, so tasty!!"
秋浜(QiuBang)'s cute ears.
Looks like Mickey Mouse as always.
"Can I have some more?"
"PLEEEEEEEASE??"
(It's always like the same picture, but this is the picture I took today for sure)
His cute long nose between the bars.
He knows how to ask for something more.
I always wish I had that talent too.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!"
And after putting fresh bamboo outside,
we let him go outside. I gave him Panda Cakes
outside too.
And this is 幸浜(XingBang) in the afternoon.
He was pretending that he doesn't care about Panda Cakes.
But when I opened the door for him to come inside,
he rushed immediately towards us.
"HAHAHA, yummy!!
Why did you go to my brother
秋浜(QiuBang)'s place first??
I was angry, so I pretended that I didn't care!"
"Can I have some more??"
"PLEEEEEASE!"
"Thank you, I know I can have 4 today, and
I'm counting "
"No more Panda Cakes?
What about the other two?"
"MMM, I wonder why I can't have them now"
"So, is it time to say "See you?"
Are you going back to Tokyo tomorrow?"
But then we went outside to give him his afternoon excercise.
He's already getting ready to stand up.
"Can you start now, please?"
"YUMMY!"
"No more for today?"
"Are you sure?"
"ARE YOU REEEEEALY SURE?
I'll do some performance for you!"
"Oh, so I can't have any more today..."
And after all the work for the afternoon
when I went back to say "See you" to 幸浜(XingBang)
he was already sleeping at his favorite spot.
"See you 幸浜(XingBang), I'll be back soon"
秋浜(QiuBang) was also asleep on his bed.
"See you soon 秋浜(QiuBang)!"
The keeper, Li Han has promised me to take good care
of the Pandas, and I know for sure that he will.
Thank you everyone for giving me the support
during my stay in Chengdu. I was happy to know that
many people have been following my blogs everyday,
and I hope you enjoyed them!!
This will be my last blog post from Chengdu...
I will head for Beijing tomorrow morning, and
fly back to Tokyo on Dec 17.
I will upload more pictures and videos when I go
back to Japan, so please give me some time to
sort them first!!
"See you soon!!!"
Pambassador Yumiko Kajiwara
