This past Tuesday on The Trip That Never Ends, our tour guides took us to a “Safari”. We were expecting a safari in the middle of a Chinese city of 14 million people to closely resemble a zoo, and we were half right.

And then we climbed aboard the little choo choo train for a ride through the area without all the cages. And though I’m not a huge zoo fan (they just always look so sad in the little bitty “habitats”), I gotta admit that the safari portion of the day was pretty cool.
I have to admit, I have no idea what a couple of these animals were, but they didn’t seem bothered by us visiting.

Everybody has a water buffalo.

I could not look at this guy without singing the Veggie Tales’ water buffalo song in my head.

Despite the bazillion pictures I have to the contrary, the safari portion of the day lasted a little over an hour. We still had plenty of time to see if the giraffes liked to eat little Chinese girls for lunch. Stay tuned for Part 2...
