This sounds AWESOME! Did I mention yet how green with envy I am? Take me! Take me! =)
Rickshaw We have something similar called pedicab (it's a cab you pedal :). The cart is attached on the left side of the bicycle instead of the back. There's another one that's faster, we call it tricycle (3 wheeled motorcycle). It's a motorcycle with a cart on the side that can accommodate 6 people inside and 1 person can ride at the back of the driver. Vance loves to ride on one of those. It could be a struggle going uphill tho esp if the load is heavy.
Asian streets The street scene and driving experience seems common to Asian countries. I just got back from the Philippines and being away for a long time, I have forgotten how they drive over there. That's the standard practice over there though. You don't see anybody getting mad when honked at or someone cuts in front. Everybody seems polite and let the car in front go first.
Mama Monkey Great pictures!!! The one of the mama and baby monkey is really unique. From a distance, her stomach looked a little strange but up close I can see the baby hanging on to her. Then there's the rhino with a little bird perched on its back. I love it! It must have been extremely wonderful to be out in the wild with them, especially that close up and personal. I would have been so scared of getting attacked by the tigers, even with a huge elephant being between us. BUT I'd still do it. I wouldn't let fear kill the experience. Kudos to you, Todd!!!
Can't wait to hear more...
