The fourth day we were there was a Sunday. We thought it would be fun to look up the local LDS church and see what it was like. There were about 50 people there attending the branch. The missionaries gave us headphones for translating and we were able to enjoy a really nice sacrament meeting.
After church we headed to Tiger Kingdom. Justin had really been looking forward to this. He's always thought tigers were really fascinating, so this was right up his alley. I decided to just see the baby tigers. They were so cute! Most of them were really sleepy. They said they sleep a lot, just like human babies. Eat and sleep. That's what they are good at.
Then Justin moved on to the "medium" sized tigers.
After that, came the "large" or as I would say, the big scary tigers. Justin thought it was so cool while he was in there. Afterwards, while he was thinking about sitting next to a huge tiger, he realized that it is a little scary. Luckily he came out of the cage alive!
Justin and I decided to have a little fun in these big bubbles. You climb inside, and then they fill it up with air, seal it up and send you off in to the water. It was really funny. It's actually hard to stand up in those things!
We played around for a little while and then I started having an anxiety attack. I am SUPER claustrophobic and I felt like I had sucked up all the air inside my bubble. Or an elephant was standing on my chest. Either way, I was starting to freak out. They can't hear you when you are in there, so I was trying to motion to Justin that I needed to get out. Luckily he knew what I meant and he got their attention. The bubbles are hooked to a rope, and the people pulled mine in. I thought I was going to pass out before I made it to the dock. Lucky for me, I did not. It was a little embarrassing, but not as embarrassing as if I had actually passed out. So although the first five minutes was fun, I would not put this on my top ten from the trip.
We went to the Sunday market after that. There were so many people there! So crowded, but there are a lot of fun things to see and buy.
We ended the night at a restaurant that had been recommended to us. It did not disappoint! It was right on the river and had a live band. It had delicious food and a fun atmosphere. The perfect way to end a great day.
(A great day minus the anxiety attack inside the bubble...)

Just watching the video of you in the bubble makes me feel claustrophobic! EEK!!!! The baby tigers sure are cute though!
Oh my goodness I LOVE seeing all you did on your vaca! What an awesome place to visit! However I'm still wondering who you all left your kids with?? I Love the pictures of the elephants! Who took them, they look professional? The bubble looks fun, but probably only for a few minutes :) What a fun trip, sure miss all you clevelanders!!
I think the bubble thing looks more fun than the tigers!!! I wouldn't mind the babies, but the bigger ones.....no way. I think you were a real trooper Stacey in the bubble. Did the others try the bubble and the tigers? I know Adam was with the tigers...wink, wink!!! :)
SO cool! The picture of you and Justin with the baby Tiger is adorable. You both look so dang cute! And I think that bubble would freak me out too. Good for you for trying it :)
