Meeting the locals in Ban Phe

On my first evening in Ban Phe, I met Ellie the Elephant:


He walks along the main road in town looking for someone to pay 20 Baht to feed him a bunch of pieces of sugar cane. At the end, he does that trunk trick and makes a noise. It was well worth it.

On the third day of class, I met ... Roachie the cockroach:


I doubt he was as pleased that I came to visit Ban Phe because instead of feeding him, I ate him. Unfortunately, I didn't show Jidapa how to film with my camera exactly so video of the entry was never captured. There will be no re-take:
