I've just finished watching Torchwood season 1 and I'll kick off with season 2 tonight, it's a rather great spin off to DrWho though it definitely has its own atmosphere, quite an innovative serie really and obviously quite open minded to my usual American scifi fav' :) It's brilliant though!

Je viens juste de finir la saison 1 de Torchwood et j'attaque la seconde ce soir. C'est une bonne continuité de DrWho tout en ayant son propre style, plutôt innovant et ouvert d'esprit, loin du style de mes séries scifi américaines que j'aime. Mais j'adooooore!

20110910: Today was the first full day of two at Kanchanaburi. We went to an working elephant retirement community. Basically, a rescue home for elephants who were working elephants in Thailand. I'll get to that later.

The morning got off to a rocky start, the taxi which was supposed to pick us up at 9, ended up going to the wrong hostel so after several annoyed phone calls we were finally picked up two hours late. However, as it turns out we didn't miss much.

Elephant's World seemed like a very nice place for elephants, they weren't overburdened or trained to do things, it was fairly obvious the humans worked for the elephants, cleaning out woulds left by poachers and abusive former owners. We spent the day feeding the elephants, making sticky rice balls with medicine for the olders ones (one was 72 years old), planting corn, and then the coolest parts we got to wash/ride them in the river Kwai, and then walk (me)/ride (Stef) them into the forest. At the end of the day they gave us a free doll because the taxi was late and we got ourselves Elephant's World t-shirts. The day was really fun despite them coming late and it was nice being able to have a day where we could interact with the elephants in such a helping way.

After we got back to Kanchanaburi, we stopped at the bridge on the river Kwai for quite a bit of photos then we walked back to the hostel. On the way we saw a fish massage place, so we went in so Stef could experience her first fish massage (the kind where fish nibble your feet and eat off all the dead skin). After that we grabbed some dinner at the hostel restaurant, showered, and went to bed.

20110911: YES I HAVE A TIGER NEXT TO ME. Today on the second of two day journey to Kanchanaburi we went to the Tiger Temple, but more on that later.

We woke up and grabbed some breakfast, checked out of the hostel, then walked and got lost on the way to the bus station, we saw a cemetery from World War II for British and Dutch soldiers and a war museum along the way. After more walking, a bus ride, and then even more walking, we were at the tiger temple.

The temple itself was actually pretty meh, one of the worst temples I've seen, much worse than the elaborate local temples near here. We got to pose with large tigers at the beginning and then we walked around for a while. They had roaming water buffalo, deer, cattle, ponies, and boars everywhere. We spent some time feeding the deer and letting the water buffalo lick our hands with their giant purple tongues.

Towards the end of the day we did the best part. They have a 45 minute long activity where 8 people can play with/feed a tiger cub. However, we were lucky as due to some miscommunication about whether it was full or not. No one booked the 3:00 time except for Stef and I (which sounds like a really weird thing, since they say usually all sessions are completely booked). Which meant, we both got to play with all 8 tiger cubs. 6 were 8 months old and 2 were 2 months old, but they were all adorable. This was surely the highlight of my day. One of the six monthers bit me and broke the skin, but no blood poured out or anything, it also didn't ruin my shirt, but definitely left a mark. So I can be one of the proud few in the world who can claim to have been bitten by a tiger.

After that we walked, took a bus, then a van, then another van back home. We arrived only to find the entire neighborhood was under 6 inches of water (fine for me since I live on the 15th floor). I'm hoping school will be canceled tomorrow because of it, but I really have no idea.

Oh, and make sure to check out my last two booths as well, since they were posted just before this one. I boothed with an elephant for yesterday's.
