Snake Farm - 22 / 12 / 09


We used the sky train to travel to the snake farm. This is situated in the Red Cross Hospital grounds and was originally established to extract venom. Today it is also an excellent education centre.
Wow! As we walked into the Snake Farm we caught sight of a snake in a sack. Closer inspection revealed a cute little cat in its extended mouth!

Bangkok - 21 / 12 / 09

This afternoon we decided to hit the streets and explore!
As we walked along we spotted a fruit trolley. They have segments of fruit for sale and we remembered them from last year. Dad got a green mango, mum had watermelon, Amber had papaya and i had pineapple like last time.
There were a lot of dogs on the street. Mum said,"Don't touch them because you don't know where they have been." But one brushed against Amber's leg! Some are pets though, if you have enough money to buy and look after one. We met one lady at a rice a pork stall who had a 1/2 poodle 1/2 chihuahua. She was carrying it around in her handbag!
Right after that we saw a different kind of pet dashing around the concrete on a chain lead. It was called a 'Chogau'. It looked like a tiny squirrel. It was really amazing the way it puffed up its tail and had flat fur on its body.
Next I'm hoping for my favourite ... real fruit milkshakes!

"Today is the day that we fly away," I said.
We went to my ballet concert and then zoomed down to Wellington where Blind and Vicki were waiting for us.It was great to see them ... even if it was at 11 o'clock at night and we were all shattered.
We woke at 4am to head to the airport. After we had been through heaps of customs we finally jumped on the plane!
