Chapter 8 Part 2

We didn’t do the exploring we wanted to—I was so worn out come the weekends.  However, the first couple months, we would hop on buses just to see where they take us.  It was a good way to see stuff.  I needed to get off the “I don’t feel like doing anything” train and explore what we could.  We weren’t gonna be there forever.  

One weekend late spring, we took a trip to Seoul Zoo.  It’s supposedly the largest one in Korea.  I’d be inclined to agree…it was huge (and cheap).  It was only $3.00 per person!  We spent several hours walking around admiring the animals, taking numerous pictures.  We had a blast.  I think I was more excited than a little kid.  I do admit that it’s sad to see the animals in captivity, but I love the opportunity to see them.  One part of the zoo was the babies—lions, monkeys, otters, etc… They are so cute.  I wish it would have been a petting zoo.  I would have loved to cuddle them.  One of the baby monkeys was showing off, swinging from rope to rope then back to the glass to see everyone.  

Another section featured numerous kangaroos and wallabies.  Most were sprawled out sleeping.  Seeing these unique creatures made us think that it would be so awesome to have a pet kangaroo, something I’ve kinda already wanted!  Honey would have a blast.  Who knows, maybe if we move to Australia one day that thought can become a reality…lol…doubt it.  The llamas were also really cool to see.  One of them gave me the perfect pose for a picture.  It was classic and will forever remain a favorite.  Along the way, we came across the section with the billy goats.  One of them was peeing and another one was drinking it midstream—GROSS!! It even made a face and rolled up its lips afterwards.  Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a picture.  It would have been another classic.
