Great museum but the transport to this place is something else. Hundreds of miserable people huddled like the Hebrews out of Egypt, waiting for a bus that will arrive whenever it feels like it. People desperately make jokes to keep the mood light, as if we're in the trenches waiting patiently for a decent enemy offensive to finally bring a merciful end to our situation.

The buses seem older than the fossils themselves and happily idle their engines blasting lead into the lungs of every child ensuring that whatever lessons they learned at the museum are annihilated by heavy metal poisoning.

The mythical Dinogon bus, rather than at least doing the courtesy of not showing up at all, decided to drive straight past the bus stop without a pause. I guess the driver took one look at the Dantean scene, the abject misery in the eyes of the waiting masses, and decided he'd rather be at home watching TV than deal with it. To be honest, I can't blame him, despite having my travel plans ruined. Respect.

I noticed that many people, utterly bored out of their minds spent money on the tactically placed gacha machines. A conspiracy theorist might connect these two facts, but I won't go that far.

3 stars because the museum is good, and the surroundings are truly breathtaking, but waiting for the bus will have you longing for a second meteor to come and put an end to mankind and his works once and for all. Rent a car, or book a taxi 🦕🦖
