…where the real animals are on the wrong side of the fence.
But first a quick note, THE IMAGES BELOW WORK (the thumbnails might not), thanks to the Chinese government for going all hardcore on my internet access, you really do know how to suck.
I have never been so appalled as when I saw how the locals here treated animals at the zoo. Shouting, spitting, slamming against the glass/fence, and throwing anything and everything that wasn’t bolted down at the poor creatures. I watched one girl pour her milk tea all over a bear [see pic], which was quickly followed by everyone having a good laugh… and if that wasn’t enough, she then threw the bottle at him. The Chinese don’t have a word for “please”, and I’m pretty sure they don’t have one for “shame” either.
2 more days I’ll be on my MUCH NEEDED vacation, Vietnam here I come!
Real pho, fo’ real, yo.

Welcome!
Lover. Hater. Photographer.
I am a Belgian-New Yorker based in Shanghai, China.
