Things I've learnt...

Have learnt a lot here during the first half of my second visit to the park. Have been working on a fundraising campaign for the park, which has taught me a lot (who knew Amazon.com would ship a book on fundraising to Thailand for only $11?!). I've learnt how to build a thai style house (for one of the mahouts), have learnt how to build a well & how to climb out of one without a ladder (took a couple of tries before I perfected the technique), and I've got over my squimishness (sp?) of both blood & creepy-crawlies by picking 19 maggots out of a wound on one of our dog's paws.

Haven't quite mastered the art of capturing rogue cows, and nor have I learnt how to speak thai without having everyone laugh at me, but I suppose those will come with time...
