Africa pictures, part 2, with added rambling

So I start my first real job on Monday. I think this is the part where I run in circles, whimpering as I chew my nails. Here, have a couple more African albums.



The world's only/largest inland delta (stories varied). This was the part of the trip with no showers, no toilets, no electricity, no phones, no roads. Also where I fell off a boat. (Those pictures will also follow, since they're not on my camera.)


(There's a hippo yawning in this picture, I promise.)


Our guides!




For some reason, I like this photo a lot. So you get to see it embedded.

Okovango Delta album

What lovely pictures! Good luck on starting work and don't worry, you'll do great. :)

Thank you! I am infinitely unready to be a doctor, but the medical school reckons otherwise. :\

I see the hippo! I do not, however, see the rhino. ::breaks out the magnifying glass::

Junsu wants to know what words you learned to say in Kenyan. That Kenyan is not a language is a minor detail, he says. @@

[identity profile] kallistei.livejournal.com 2008-08-02 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
There are several little grey lumps in the bottom photo. They're rhinos. :|

Tell Junsu we didn't actually visit Kenya.

[identity profile] ranalore.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! I was looking in the foreground, but now I spot them. Stealth rhinos, like the hippo.

I've told him to go bug Changmin for geography lessons on Africa.

[identity profile] kallistei.livejournal.com 2008-08-04 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Surprisingly sneaky for such large animals.

Hm. I hope Changmin's in a good mood.

WHERE'S THE RHINO???
O__O

[identity profile] kallistei.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
More than one! The grey lumps in the middle of the picture. :|

[identity profile] wmelon-kaiye.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you need to magnify that photo and re-post it.
Everyone seems to lack the appropriate eyesight. XD

:| if you click it you can see the full-size.

[identity profile] wmelon-kaiye.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I STILL SEE NO RHINOS v__v;;
I see SHRUBS? XD

[identity profile] kallistei.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
:(((( Grey, in the middle. Definitely rhinos.

Moo.

MOO. cows.
XD

*tickles*
After much speculation, I think I've come up with a new theory about why zebras have stripes. I mean, dude, your photo! LOL! hee hee

[identity profile] wmelon-kaiye.livejournal.com 2008-08-03 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well, I merely noticed how all the stripes seemed to point towards a certain backside orifice. v__v;;
I was thinking that maybe the male zebras have aiming issues.
