LW Thailand Update

Soo after 2 days of touring the city we were ready to do some hands on community service time!! We awoke bright and early this morning and headed off to meet the Khlong Toey youth group. Since we like to travel in style, we took the infamous disco bus out to Chon buri to the zoo!!! There was lots of dancing to be had and we quickly paired up with a Thai youth and began the challenging task of trying to get to know one another via hand signals and drawing pictures. Our day at the zoo was jam packed with games, touring, feeding animals and trying hard not to let the language barrier get to us. That night we even got to go on a night safari and see the largest tiger in the world!!! Don't worry there was glass between us. We also saw hippos, elephants, giraffe, lions, bulls, birds and tons more. It was a great way to bond. And the best part was that night the Thai girls put on a dancing performance for us and we shocked them all with our amazing version of cotton eyed joe. Basically it just turned into an awesome dance party under the stars, can't go wrong with that!!!
