Wussup dawg!!

Theres a lot of dogs around here. Theyre straydogs, but Ive noticed that they dont look so starved and shitty as the ones Ive seen elsewhere. They come close but still keep a slight distance, just in case. In our favourite restaurant theres two. The waitresses just go around them when they sleep on the floor and nobody does nothing about them.
I remember a dog, I think it was a puppy getting kicked by a waiter in Mallorca when I was a kid and never wanted to go back to that place. They were always chasing away the dogs. Nasty stinky dogs.
But somethings different over here. And now I know the answer.

The community takes care of the dogs. Ive seen them feed them, but they also clip them to keep the number in control. Its a religioius thing. They think that the spritits of the dead relatives go (or might go) to the dogs. Nobody wants to kick their granpa, right?

Today I saw a bird sit on a cow that was eating its grass, not minding at all. The cows and birds look a bit different over here, so too bad I didnt have a camera with me. Theres plenty of trees over here so why was it sitting on the cow? Maybe it was his buddy.

It was a bit cooler day today, been raining all day. No dips in the pool even. Then one couple we met said it was +28 degrees. Only.
Its 28,5 now inside the house and we havent had the air conditioning on all day. Chilly...
So, there was no trip to Hua Hin either. Maybe tomollow!

Took a ride with the scooter the other day to a local national park. Nice ride through the rice fields and coconut farms. People waving their hands. Saw some monkeys jumping from tree to tree. First time ever to see them in the wild. Well, we saw some monkeys about a week ago in a small town Prachuap Khiri Khan, at the foot of a temple mountain. But its not the same thing really. There should be a nice beach over there but dont know if we have time for that...

Thats all folks!!
