Perhaps I was walking around a botanical garden, the leafy shades of the tropical plants were casting their shadows all over the surrounding objects.
A friend of mine had gone ahead to an upper floor for lunch first.
I tried to catch up with her but she quickly slipped by.
Then I looked up at the vaulted ceiling to find her, however all I could see was some freesia flowers and some kind of climbing plants swinging around the terrace.

Meanwhile, everybody had to use monkey bars to go upstairs in this place,　because the ground floor was covered with water like a swimming pool.
So I followed to grip the overhead ladder.
Half-way through, I happened to bump into a man who was coming in the opposite direction.
We were looking at each other’s face in confusion, however the man smiled approvingly and let go of the bar.
By reflex, I said to him “I’m sorry” but his kind reaction made me feel bad.
Before I continued, I looked back at the path from where I had came down.
There were many people hanging from bars and coming just after me.
