India is in Asia, not China. I believe li'l brother is in some way connected to India. ;)

Calm your farms ladies. I've been to both India on China.  Actually we were in China for a few days on our way to India.

How can you be in China on your way to China?
Dreams, dreams are untapped and writhing. How much more real are dreams than that paltry existence which we now call reality? How shall we ascend to that which humanity is destined? By mastering the dreamworld of course. That is how, my pupils, that is how.

Yeah, I know. Maybe it was a typo.

I'm a magical llama who can do that. Don't question it.

HAHAHAH, anyway.
Did the zoo you went to resemble the one in the movie Life of Pi?

As long as the cages are a good size, the animals are treated well and there's the conservation (and education) behind it, zoos can be a positive thing. Still, some places I've seen animals in I have felt very sorry for them. One place had a, not huge, glass cage for a snow leopard and everyone was snapping away with their cameras with the flash on and it really didn't feel comfortable. I guess safari parks are better in some ways for more roam land. Zoos must just ensure the animals get the very best for their needs, and if they're not, then they should be moved to somewhere they will feel better.

I have been to the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and River Safari. The animals live in enclosures and there are relatively few bars. But one of the white tigers died recently. *sob*. My mum recalls from her childhood that there was a zoo in India and all the animals were starving and malnourished and the cages were made of only iron and in the hot indian summer, ouch.

Wow, cool.
I've been to a bunch of zoos, but only one has ever had a cheetah. Fort Worth Texas zoo.
