For all of you wondering about the sudden obsession with elephants, I am realizing that my trip is only one more week long and I am yet to see a country so I did all of the research (of course, right?) about elephants in Cambodia because I WANT ONE, at least a ride on one. And I want to blow into his trunk so he never forgets me. Ok, so there is one place in the capital where I can go ride an elephant, but its ten dollars! TEN. And im pressed for money so thats going to be a no. I thought about hopping my way across Southeast Asia to Malaysia because there are hotels there that escort you to your room via elephant, which sounds like a life venture I should have at my future homes. However, I think Malaysia may be more expensive than ten dollars, so again--I'm thinking thats a no. In addition, there are only 250-600 wild elephants left in Cambodia. THey are way up northwest. I will not be venturing there, so thats out the window. (Do you see how fast my hopes are being dashed????). Lastly, we are going to Siem Reap this weekend for the weekend to hike Angkor Wat. I think there are also elephant rides there. I will spend the rest of money and potentially sell my soul (not myself daddy, not prostitution, merely my soul) for an elephant ride before I leave.
Also, I am inspired to start a Sprinkles (the world's best cupcakes that are sold in LA) chain in Cambodia. Emily had the following brilliant idea: "OH. idea. you should 1. get an elephant 2. ride it around cambodia and 3. sell cupcakes from it! it'll be like the cambodian version of the hot dog vendors in LA. brilliant. i know. you're welcome. :)" I personally feel this is a brilliant idea and will take to it soon. Thoughts? I am thinking of starting a few surveys and petitions from this blog. A yes no survey of Emilys sprinkle idea. Followed by a petition to get Tom and Sue to get us a Cambodian boy. It would be the greatest. A third petition, which is imperative, LETS GET TIFFANY AN ELEPHANT. NOW.
Thoughts everyone? Daddy?
