You know that feeling you get sometimes when you wake up in a strange place and you have a moment of panic as your brain tries to figure out where you are? I had a moment like that today. While driving.
As I was driving to work today, I saw a sight that I have never seen here. And it was strange enough to completely confuse me. And make me laugh hysterically.
There, crossing the road in front of my van was a little motorcycle with a wagon on the back (not unusual). But behind the wagon was this:
That is, of course, not the actual camel that was crossing in front of my van. I wish I'd had my camera at the time, but then again I was driving. Probably wouldn't have gotten a picture even if I'd had my camera...driving and picture taking is generally not advisable. Especially here. However, this picture was taken in China and I know I've seen those double-helix lights before...maybe this is the camel I saw?!
Yeah. I saw a Bactrian camel tethered to a motorcycle wagon and crossing the street. And of course I had to blog about it because otherwise I will never believe that I saw it! After I regained my orientation and realized where I was, my brain started thinking logically again. My first thought: "maybe it's going to a restaurant to be eaten...I wonder where the restaurant is, I've never had camel before."
Yes, that's the kind of logical thought one has after living overseas for a while.
