He seems to be telling me "if ya' mess with the bull, you'll get the horns"! Yes, I was glad that he didn't charge me!
Today has been an exceptional day. Unfortunately, this signified the end of my time in Bujumbura, Burundi. I’d spent approximately 2.5 weeks working here. Prior to the trip, I honestly couldn’t tell you what I had expected, except for the fact that I knew my movement around the region would be restricted (due to the civil war), something that I did not eagerly anticipate. Additionally, I had had several comrades that had been evacuated from the country on a prior visit.

Orchids are beautiful and I love them.
I went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia after traveling through Japan and Singapore. This is yet another place that I've always wanted to visit. Yeah, so finally I make it and find a really fabulous park right off the bat. The park included three separate sanctuaries for birds, flowers and butterflies. [View Full Entry]
