I forgot to mention

The other day, when walking home, the sun, and consequently, the turtles were out. The turtles were sunning themselves in their pond. On one stone, two turtles sat contentedly and a third was stubbornly trying (and somewhat attempting) to crawl up on their backs, as if there was nowhere else to sun himself. It made for quite an interesting variation to the usual human pyramid. The tourists were going crazy with their cameras; I wish I had had one.

I also missed a chance to take photos of monkeys in the botanical gardens. One onlooker was brave enough to feed them, for the sake of his photo collection, and a good 5 or 7 monkeys rushed down towards him to get the food. It's interesting to be living in a tropical place.
