Today I was able to sleep in because I had a trip planned at 12 to go to a tiger zoo. I got lunch on the ship and got on the bus to go. Me and Meghan had decided to go on the trip together. There was a gigantic sign at the front of the entrance that was absolutely gorgeous. Big stone rocks and fake tigers.
The first thing that we saw was the tiger show. I was a little disappointed about this show. The tigers were sooo scared of the instructors and they flinched when they would get close. It was really close to animal cruelty. I thought the zoo was going to be more of an animal sanctuary but no it was more like a circus. I left the show early and decided to go feed baby tigers. They were so little and very cute. I got to hold the tiger and feed it milk. The tigers were very soft. That was probably my favorite part of the day. We then went to an elephant show that was very similar to the one that I went to the day before.
Next we went to a crocodile show. This was very different from the ones that are at home. They would stick their heads in the croc’s mouths and hold it there for a couple of seconds.
We then had about an hour to walk around on our own. Me and Meghan ate crocodile. It was sooo good!!!! It was very tough, but a really good meat. We then went to see the scorpion queen, chimpanzees, rabbits, camels, and many other animals.
After the zoo we headed to a place called “The Mini Siam.” This is a place that has miniature world wide monuments and structures. They only had two things from the US, the statue of liberty and mt. Rushmore.
Right before we left Meghan and I went to the markets that were right beside Siam. There was miles and miles of tables with food on them. I got the best piece of corn that I have ever tasted in my life. I also got some really good chicken and corn. The markets were really cool because there were so many people in there trying to sell their food. When we got back to the ship we got ready for our next couple of days in Bangkok.
Love
Michelle

ReplyDeleteMichelle, so many exciting things you are doing, much braver than I would ever think of being. Uncle Dave ate crocodile while we were in Florida, it was fried and looked like chicken. Thanks again for writing about your trip, I'm loving reading it!
