Chang Mai

I know im one of the worst bloggers ever...but its tough scavenging all day, then when you do have time to blog , you cant get internet and then your always tired because some days you wake up 5 and dont go to bed until 11; but im trying my best.I know i say this at the beginning of every blog, Chang Mai was also a very beautiful and amazing place. We had a great time. Since im soo behind on blogging im not going to go on for very long just say the things i enjoyed the most, so i can try and catch up so i can write the Sri Lanka leg afterwards.

One of the things i loved the most about Chang Mai, is the first day we got there and got the books and set out and found our guidebook and we got both mandatories out in the first hour which is ...The Best!! so you have no stress later on trying to get them done.

We went to this night safari, where you get in this tram and you drive through and they turn on the lights as you pass. I saw every single animal that i always wanted to see; hippos, kangaroos, rhinos,zebras...nearly everything was there. As we exited the tram, we went and got to play with these little lions.














Later after the Safari, we took our tuk tuk which had disco lights, kareoke, a tv, and an engine for a racecar, which passed every car along the way to this Broadway house, where we watched this A-M-A-Z-I-N-G show called "Playhouse". The women in the show beautiful, I was very surprised when every person in the show was male. Those men fooled me, they were so pretty.





I loved the show though, great music, costumes and there was this one guy ( dont know his name, he didnt speek english) who was the best dancer i have ever seen in my life.


The last really awesome scavenge we had to do was go to this elephant place, and watch elephants do different tricks so we had a set of dancing elephants ( that was soo cute and funny) and then we saw another elephant play instruments but the best had to be.......THE PAINTING ELEPHANTS!!! It was so amazing, they paint all by themselves besides when their mahout gives them the paintbrushes and one painted flowers and the next painted elephants and the last painted ab-stract. They were incredible, they can paint ebtter than me. We actually ened up buying a picture which we will probably regret while having to lift it through Europe but, who cares, its a cool picture and also mum is going to lift it. :D
