Windmills. Tulips. Wooden clogs with pointed tips. Folk costume.... These are the symbols of Netherlands (or Holland) - an Europe country that I yet set foot on, though I've been to this part of the world for almost 1o times. The beautiful images of the country was the backdrop of the Hongkong drama (僵). Of course, I'm not there to seek exciting encounters withe the vampires, but the beautiful landscape that also comes with the architecture (both old and new).

Day 6 (Sun 20170611) NEMO Science Centre

It is always a nice idea to visit overseas Science Centre to learn how knowledge and ideas were presented. Each time, there would be some discovery, regardless whether it is a pretty advance one, or just one that has exists for a long time. Similar things could be presented quite differently, depending on the culture and education system of the country.



There are two entrances to the Science Centre - from the main entrance in the ground floor, or through the partially open-air cafe at the 5th floor, which one could gradually ascend via the steps from outside.


 Being a country that lies "low", this is an interesting one that engages the visitors even before they step into the Science Centre.



 Visitors are greeted by the water clock, which the chart beside it explained clearly how it operates.



I think one unique feature I notice is how it has made learning or discovery so easy for one - be it school children or adults. There are lots of hands-on opportunities, and good thing is, almost all the exhibits are working well and come with English translation.


Here's a video that enables one to connect the real world to the Golden Ratio! 
I like this very much - something being presented in a way that layman could appreciate!

Something to do with gravity... the father and son were enjoying the exploration.







In addition, also saw some 'antique' collections, which I saw for the first time :)

Guess what's this?



Now, the guess should be easier

What would you see through different coloured lenses? 
Some exploration made easy to understand!



Having fun with 'magic mirrors'


While this is not new, but it's still fun to play with...


A vertical chair lift - which pulley combination will make the work done most effortlessly?


It's about volume - seeing is believing?


A comprehensive collection of shapes of minerals



About Energy...


Tricks that we could apply to photography




Number sense... in the lift




About the cafe at the top floor...

Some interesting furniture for diners to eat, and at the same time enjoy the view of the canal and city centre.
