Awwww Eich, public transport is kinda useful here because parking costs SOOO MUUUUCH, and fuel and stuff. But, the public transport here has raised their fares...by ten cents for me, but that's still a lot for a student!!! D:
OMG. CHAOS IN THE LOCAL MUSEUM.
There's this reeeeeally expensive chair that they prize, and it's in the biggest gallery on a plinth. This morning, a cruise ship has docked and the city streets are bustling with camera-burdened tourists, walking out in front of traffic etc. Anywho, in the museum, some 17 year old tourist kid had the bright idea to- tell me if this is in anyway logical- get a five meter run up, leap into the air, and body-slam the couch. It broke. There was only one gallery guard on duty at that time, on the other side of the gallery, around the corner from the chair (there are walls that extend halfway into the room, blocking the view) who heard the loud footsteps and went running but didn't make it in time. Everyone is distraught. The gallery is closed. Incident forms are being filled out etc.
But, I just, HOW DID THAT KID THINK IT WAS OK TO JUMP ON A MUSEUM DISPLAY??? D:
(The gallery guard was incidentally my best friend, who needs so many hugs...aaaaaagggghhhh XD)
I think that the museum needed no-touch signage or a rope barrier around the chair, and also hire more staff (they're understaffed) to prevent these things, but I don't know..... U___U
