An unexpected Rotary event came about, one not specifically
meant for exchange students. It was a trip to Daikin air conditioner company
much like the trip to the Toyota car assembly plant were it’s for Rotary
members but YEPs can be invited. My host father, mother and I went together to
what basically was a lecture over the company’s values. I had to have my
parent’s translate it. The coffee, water and pastry box were great. One other
exchange student was there, a German boy. That’s it to talk about the event.
Noting really long or engaging to report.
Heading to Bali, the three of us went in search of a café
with the reputation of having bunnies in its perimeter. Duuuude…bunnies? It’s a
given we have to check it out! Remember, my host father loves rabbits. So I
wasn’t the only one itching to see little puffballs of incredible cuteness! XD
Fleeing the downpour we ducked inside and found a low-light
cozy environment with low to the ground couches. No bunnies could be seen at a
glance which exploded my original image. Beforehand I knew of cat cafes in
Korea where cats roamed freely throughout the restaurant. My mind copied and
pasted this picture but with bun-buns. This was clearly incorrect.
We were seated and ordered a caramel macchiato and two ice
creams. Once taken by an employee it gave a green light to go exploring. That
was the exciting part because…
BABY BUN-BUNS! How adorable! All snuggled up and content.
One could melt from the radiating sweetness.
To a pleasant surprise, the place had more than just baby
bun-buns. Other animal species graced the premises such as guinea pigs, birdies
(LOVE!), cats, mice and more bun-buns, adult ones that is!
Oh goodness, look at this handsome bird! He's so well groomed and healthy looking! Love!
This little guy is cute with his puffiness but needed a preen badly (the picture kinda hides this fact). My fingers ached to give the darling a preen. XD
The older rabbits and their play pen
My host parents. What my host mother is doing is her Asian version of bunny ears. I later taught them the American version (a peace sign behind your head) because what she is doing can be easily taken the wrong way in America as devil horns. XD
Mr. “I’m-adorable-and-I-know-it” was given the name “yo tiao”
by his owner. Fitting and also increasing the cuteness because “yo tiao” means ‘deep
fried breadstick!’ XD He does kinda look like one! Oh, don’t you just want to
cuddle him asleep?! I do!
What have we learned from this, kids? It’s that bunnies are a
bundle of overflowing loveliness. ^_^
The rest of the day was gym, eat and sleep. Gym was a
non-sweat session of horse riding machine, the shaker and some bike. I wore
jeans and a T-shirt, which was fine except for the shaker. At one point,
somehow magically, my clothes become unbearably itchy. Pure torture! Perhaps it
had something to do with the jeans but either way, it was so terrible! Dinner
was the bread from the Rotary event and the night closed with a nap and driving
back home.
Fin. Byes.
I'm jealous! You got to see an African Gray! (you guess which bird that was)
ReplyDeleteHoney, you are talking to a bird lover for life. If I didn't know what an Africa Gray breed looked like, I would be a failure as a bird lover. ;)
