Milking the Water Buffalo
I've got video of these in traffic, but a still shot was easier while they were milking under the highway bridge. Christina here.
All together now!
"Everybody's got a water buffalo-
Yours is fast but mine is slow-
Oh where do they get them, I don't know-
but everybody's got a water buffalo-oooooooooooooo!!"
(Lyrics by Larry the Cucumber, of "Silly songs with Larry" fame)
Yep, the water buffalo are everywhere. And everybody seems to have one or three, herding them around through the streets, just part of the traffic.
We drink buffalo milk in our tea & coffee, which, as it has lots of yummy fat in it (more than our milk at home), we are growing addicted to. And we eat the buffalo meat in some of the curries. Good stuff. We know we can't fit one into our luggage, but Sheryl's trying to figure out how we can transport 2 back home. She already said she'll take the slow one, & I can have the fast one!
This buffalo looked a little shy, so I kept my distance.
