Zoo Day!
















Today has been amazing so far and we aren't even done! There are so many pictures I would like to put on the blog from our zoo trip! This zoo...a safari zoo is like no other we have ever been to. The animals were within breathing distance of us. They do not believe in motes or fences. The monkeys were crawling above us. And one of the pics shows Jordan a little upset that the giraffes just yanked the 10yen piece of tree branch he was feeding him- I swear Jordan got lifted up off the ground! Again, the kids were quite the hit with the fellow Chinese people. Lots of pics of them - we made about 10 stops on the tour for pics...I was ready to get out the pens and start signing autographs (it's kind of a weird thing how much we are stared at and (I assume) talked about. I really feel bad I know none of this language but the people like Vikki and Billy, our hotel staff. The minibus that took us to the zoo was nice but the traffic is insane. They have marked lanes but apparently do not need to use them. And on the highways there are bikes loaded with whatever they need to lug. There are motorcycles, but I will tell you one thing Grandma and Grandpa Poch, these are not Harleys. Is a matter of fact, they look like they are the most ancient bikes out there. And every single person here seems like they are entrepreneurs-billions of small shops are lined up everywhere.
