wild asses, migratory birds and dust

I spent Rs700 (S$27) for a getaway at Dasada wildlife sanctuary- inclusive of buffet meals, one night stay in a tatched roof chalet, 2 safari rides and a WYWI (Who are You, Who am I?) sharing session. It's not mentioned in any of the guidebooks so I have no idea how 2 retired angmohs we saw there discovered the place.




The hotel allowed people from nearby villages to sell their craft in the compound. Check out the nose ring.





Chasing after wild ass. We know we could have easily ripped a photo off the net but it's in the thrill of the chase man.

And because we got up at 6am, risked our lives in a doorless jeep on a bumpy road, swallowed tons of dust and braced the chill of the wind...we HAD to snap the sunrise.

More sunrise..

More.

The whole area we were on was the former sea, or something like that. So we were standing on salt basically. If you stretch your imagination, with the help of the cold weather, it can pass off as snow.

Benetton ad. Complete with rojak races.

Director: "Come on jump! Don't worry, I'll catch you." They tell us not to walk on the grass on campus because there are snakes and they scare us into thinking that venturing out into the city is a dangerous affair, but yet there is the director of the school telling a student with an existing back problem to jump from a salt mount. Makes total sense eh.



30 seconds exposure to capture the starry night sky. But of course it doesn't beat looking up and seeing a blanket of them twinkling back at you.
