Even Mum & Dad approved.
Dad, "You can bring these to church now."
Mom, "You can bring these to church now."
Uh, okay parents.
Incase you're wondering, this cake is what my blog is named after :)
Bolu Kukus means Steamed Cake. It's a traditional snack in Indonesia. It is a tricky sonofabeetch to make.
I couldn't stop playing that song in my head as I was playing around with tigers & elephants in Thailand. I had so much fun meeting, petting, feeding, bathing, walking and just goofing around with these awesome creatures.
Especially dancing with Apple, the Swaying Elephant. Btw, me squealing in the end is because of the red ants biting my feet. Eek.
Plus, can not forget my 12 Things, where #10 is Swimming with Dolphins. This was accomplished in Bali. I was able to spend time with Nemo, the youngest in the group, for about 30 minutes with my friend Helga and an elderly couple. Nemo was soo cute. And I salute the trainer, Julio, who's been working with these dolphins for 10 years. Yes, they are in captivity, and yes, we pay to see them and be entertained by them, BUT what I've found out is that they do release them to the ocean to swim freely and these dolphins come back for food. They don't work all day every day, they do have off days during the week and they get fed 3 times a day plus snacks. One thing I am happy about is that these trainers love what they do and love the animals as well.
Since we are still talking about animals, I went to the Monkey Forest in Ubud, Bali, where these monkeys are considered sacred in the Forest. They are fierce when you feed them. This one was just chillin' so I decided to pose with him.
Not familiar with 12 Things? You can read about it here :)
I am back from my Asian Trip. And I had to call off work today because I woke up, still jet lagged, but what's worse is that I had some, as my dear cousin Akira said, anal hangover, and was up since 4 AM, going back and forth to the bathroom. Holla America.
So these are the things that are accompanying me in my night stand...
With the addition of some Kao Tom Gai (Thai Chicken Porridge) that I made with some hot tea and... Imodium (eww). Oh and some back pains and headache.
Meanwhile I was super fine the whole trip as I ate myself to craziness with street food (hello $1.50 Pad Thai!).
I still need to catch up on the last Euro Trip (Hello Milan & London!) along with some awesome Bali & Thai posts.
This make take awhile as I have to back to work. Bear down with me here.
