Few days ago I had four days off, so my family dragged me out on vacation, preventing me from locking myself in my room and lazing around all day. We went to some some kind national/park, called Taman Safari (literally translated Safari Park). It's located at Cisarua, Bogor, although according to the website they said they have several other location at other cities.
The ticket's about Rp. 130.000,- for locals or Rp. 200.000,- for foreigners. That's about $25, more or less. Oh, and another Rp. 15.000,- (about $2) for the car. They have night safari package too, but I don't know the price.
Here you can see the animals in their natural(?) environment, no cage for them. But you have to be inside your car at all time, no opening your windows and no feeding the animals, ideally. Here's some pics on them.
Lazy hippo.
Not-so-lazy hippo.
Deers... I think. They want you to feed them, but be careful if you decide to do it (at the tame animals place), cause they still can bite you, or lick you, eww.
These animals insisted to show-off their behinds... @_@
I almost didn't see this owlie, hehe never seen one this close before (beside at the zoo), or in the daylight.
This is what I mean with they can bite your fingers off... Hmm not to sure if it happened over there... but I'm laughing if it is lol, their fault for opening their window after being told not to. Perhaps that will teach them, people do say that experience's the best teacher...
Lazy lion(ess?).
Lazy lions. Why all of them are so lazy...
Stalking tiger xD.
It seems that this bear's trying to do acrobats walking on the thin wood. Let's hope the bear won't fall >.<.
This is the map of the park. To reach the recreation site inside, we get a tour of the (not so) wildlife of the animals. After that it's your usual amusement park waiting inside, it's up to you on what you want to do. They have various shows scheduled throughout the day. They have many rides for the children and adults, although you can't expect Disneyland here :P. They have Rainforest Restaurant too, even if I think it's too expensive, I'd rather bring foods from outside. You can ride elephants, ponies or camels too, or mini trains around the site.
Souvenir shops. They sell many things; shirts, hats, keychains, headbands, stickers, mugs, dolls, etc. Don't think I'm allowed to take pics inside so I didn't.
The elephant show. We arrived here just as they finished :(.
Elephant that you can ride. You know, he can give you the ride of your life, mwahahah.
They have haunted house too. Now that's a place I'll NEVER step my foot into >.< *runs farfaraway*
We went to the white tigers place, but they were sleeping. They looked like big cuddly dolls on your common room carpets, nice and warm to snuggle in while watching TV ;). There are big dolls like this at the store, but they're expensive. By the time my mum decided to buy them, we're already outside @_@.
They let us take pictures with the babies at the Baby Zoo, and with the big ones too.
Cause someone's insisted to call me tiger, just to poke him I bought that headband and take pics with the tigers xD. Well, the babies, but still...
This baby tiger is a naughty one hihi. When I sit down, he immediately put his paw on my pants lol. But the guard spanked him before he managed to claw my pants off =)). Then he sniffed and kissed my thigh, aww *huggles*. I tried to hug him but the guard forbade me to do it :'(. So I only can pet him on the head and neck.
Now this is the kind of tiger I want to pet >_<. Look at how sharp his gaze is xD. But they said no @_@.
These ones are with baby lion. So... lion's cub? He's in rebellious mood at the moment. When I approached him he tried to glomp me lol. Then cause the guard hit his cane to the wood again, he calmed down... He's actually just a big kitty, see he's rolling his head cause I rubbed his neck :P.
I wanted to put him in my lap but they didn't allow it :(. He's tired after all day being manhandled by the mean guard. Even after I promised I'll be gentle with him they still didn't allow it T_T.
Before going back to hotel, we visited the white tigers' place once more. Coincidentally it's the time for their feeding, so they're awake and sashaying around.
There are two white tigers, they're imported from India, according to the information board. They even have their own palace here, spoiled kitties O.O. They're not in a cage, but their environment surrounded by high walls to keep them and the visitors protected.
Ha, I told you so, they're just a big kitties :D. Even if instead of climbing because of frightened, he's climbing because he wanted the piece of chicken hanging above him. He's so adorable up there xD *huggles the tiger*
We stayed for another night at the hotel. I thought I could spend my night in peace... but the hotel organized a stage for entertainments exclusive for this night because it's the first day of the year in Muslim Calendar. Dang expensive hotel >.<. But perhaps it's worth its pricey...
They show several kinds of dance here.
Dance from Bali. I didn't watch this one (still sleeping in the hotel room lol).
Some kind of dance from Bali... I don't know the name :(. The dancer's portraying an old woman.
Angklung
Saman Dance
Barong Dance
The end of the show
The other pics are in this album.That's it for now, I'm almost late for my morning class >.<. Cya~
