Skansen - Evonne L.


Tuesday, March 27, 2018

Today was definitely in my opinion, the coldest day so far on this trip. I was super cold even with wearing gloves and three pairs of pants. This morning we continued to shadow our students, but after that we went to Skansen. We headed to Skansen with five of our host students at VRS and our entire group including the teachers. We took a bus that had around six or seven stops before we arrived at our final destination. Skansen was super fun and it was really cool to see the different animals that inhabit there, since there isn’t a whole lot of exotic or wild animals in our zoo. I liked seeing the wolves because they looked super majestic and we don’t have any wolves like those roaming around in Hawaii. From this trip, I found that since there were a lot more free roaming animals that live in Sweden, the design of the zoo was unlike the zoo back at home. It was a lot more open and it mainly used wood to keep the gates enclosed. In Honolulu however, the cages are open as well, but a lot of the animals are kept behind glass walls or wired fences.
