Tiger Park


Today we went to the Tiger Park which is really a large fenced area where we sit in buses and the tigers roam around - though a stretch to say it was very much like the wild.  But we ended up having a great time.  The tigers really did come close to the bus - one's tail whipped thru the barred window splattering Guohua and I with water (it was raining lightly).  There were quite a lot.  There was also a pedestrian walkway where you actually feed raw meat (or a live chicken) to the tigers - they jumped up and grabbed the meat.  What was funny was one of them just started watching Guohua and then walking along as she moved down the corridor.  Soon, she had them all following her around back and forth.  May have been the yellow rain poncho - maybe they thought she was some exotic dish.  But really, they seemed to like her!   Then someone else did pay for a chicken...ok no details there.
