WFFT Week 4

This week did a Phetchaburi day trip with Katie, 25 (USA) and Davinia, 18 (England), and saw Wat Mahatat, the King's Summer Palace, another Wat, the name escapes me at the moment, Monkey Mountain, which is a Wat in a cave in a mountain, which was definitely the highlight of the day! Then we went to the Hilltop Palace, but it was closed for renovations to the cable car that day, so we went to Wat Kampang Lang instead. Afterwards we went to Big C in Phetchaburi and took our Centre driver, Tek, to Swenson's for an ice cream. I don't even eat icecream usually, but I think I was missing Western food a bit after my 4 weeks at the Centre. At Swensons Petchaburi. This week has also been so sad, my last working week. There are so many things I will miss: watching Gallamair and Gaga (baby malayan sunbears) play, Joey (longtail macaque) getting angry and throwing stones, but then being sweet a second later and doing "lovely macaque face", Loi (pigtail macaque) doing "greeting macaque face", Mr Oo (white handed gibbon) playing on his swing, Bandit and babies (longtail macaques) playing, Dum Dum (white handed gibbon) giggling and running along the ground, Kot (rhesus macaque) doing "threatening macaque face" to me when I give him his food, warning me not to take it away, Nee's (white handed gibbon) sweet face and greeting when I walk past, Bong (white cheeked gibbon) doing the 'robot' and her songs, Sandie's (binturong) sniffing, Bouncer trying to beat Joan (Asiatic black bears) to the food (and always winning!), Oompoom (malayan sunbear) racing around his enclosure and only going into his side gate once I have shown him an acceptable amount of food, Randie (greater hornbill) biting my toes every time I tried to sweep his floor!! I will miss these things so much :(


Bye WFFT, I hope to return to you one day...I have never felt so happy as when I was there :(
