Zoo

After 4 days without my internet it is finally fixed. I even got a new clip on the end of the cord too so now when I move computer it doesn't lose internet.

Last Tuesday we went to the zoo for our project and one of our new friend Keung came with us. She has a spinal cord injury and uses a wheel chair so we asked her to come so we could see how the staff helped and such. We discovered that the zoo was VERY HILLY!!! It was more like hiking than a trip to the zoo. Overall it wasn't accessible for a wheel chair but the staff was incredibly helpful. Also the you can actually see all of the animals which is a big differences from many American zoos. And none of the animals were enclosed behind glass. Instead usually there was a BIG ditch and a big hedge between us and the more aggressive animals. Other animals were could almost walk into their enclosure.

 

In  Chiang Mai if you have enough money (and you use a wheel chair) you can buy an adapted motor bike. This is Keung's she has given me several rides. The first time it was a little weird b/c I sit on the regular seat but there aren't handle bars to steer or hold on to.

 Feeding the elephants!

  Pandas!!! The biggest attraction at the zoo. You have to pay an extra $3 to see them.
