“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things
you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
Discover.” – Mark Twain

Chiang Mai Zoo

What can I say...I really love zoos and animals.

This huge bear was waiting for us at the entrance of the zoo. Isn't he just super cute?

This zoo is beautiful. Thailand in general is very beautiful. Everything is very clean and well kept.


I have heard Hippopotamuses are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. My impression is that they are very lazy hungry animals.
I've never been so close to a elephant before. He would look at you with his eyes as you walked by, kinda of creepy.
The lion just woke up and started to roar very loudly then fell back to sleep.


He just wants to play.


Thai food is very very spicy. I will never think Mexican food is spicy again.
How do you cap off a day at the zoo? You go to sing Karaoke haha
These little motorcycles were our mode of transportation.

Alishan part 2

The big trees i saw at this part of the mountain were awesome. I have never seen such old and big trees in my whole life. Even though by this time I was soaking wet seeing all this nature was worth it.


A random rest stop with all this Chinese on it. I have no idea what it says though.


Hiking was rough on my legs. We climbed all the way up then down then up again.

Some more bad English in Taiwan.
This is a shrine to all the trees that were cut down in the past.

This is so funny! The red sign says "please don't park here" two cars are parked in front of the sign and one car is double parked behind both of them. this is the best you can expect in Taiwan when it comes to driving. Taiwanese don't care about driving law.




We rode down on a small van. The driver was crazy! He passed 3 buses going down hill on a blind turn. He did get us there very fast though.



We made a stop here to eat some lunch.




This trip to Alishan was a lot of fun! I had a great time.
