OMG so amazing! I never thought I would be doing anything as amazing as touching a tiger, well I thought wrong. We left for a nearby zoo on Thursday, which turned out to be a sort of petting zoo for adults. I've posed with an orangatang, hold an actual britney spears snake around my neck and *drumbeats* I have fed a white tiger cub and lion :D:D:D I caught myself peeking at the pictures multiple times to see if it wasn't a dream.
Other events: As I mentioned before, I have stayed with the monks in a Buddhist temple which was.. interesting. Waking up at 4:30 for meditation and chanting, offering food to the monks..
Afterwards I joined some friends for the weekend to Bangkok. Took a tuk tuk, against my better judgement, saw the grand palace, Wat Pho (the biggest and oldest temple housing the biggest oldest Reclining Buddha) the floating market and the Chatuchak weekend market. We stayed near Khao San road, which is known for being a popular backpackers hangout. At night we drank cocktails at the top of the luxurious hotel Banyan Tree hotel, the view was breathtaking with the lights of the city beneath us. A warm breeze caressing my hair, soft jazzy music at the background, nipping on my cocktail while looking at the lights from the surrounding buildings. For a moment I felt like the richest woman on earth....
At the moment I'm back in Singburi but I'm leaving in a few hours. I supposedly would go trekking in the jungle this week, but due to my lack of stamina I asked if I could change it :P I am going to start the volunteering already, but instead of teaching in a school or orphanage I'm going to do the 'homestay'. I'll be staying with at an Thai teacher where I'll help her around the house. I'll also teach english to Thai children, but I'm not sure yet where that will take place...
I guess that's about it... We were with a big group of Dutch girls, but fortunatly (there has been some tension in the group -_-) we are all going our own way now. The sixth week I'll be going to the bounty island Ko Chang with two friends I made here. Can't wait for the beach :D
