MALAYSIA - THE PRESENT ASIA (continued, part 3) The third day of our stay on the island, it was decided to devote urgent business. We still have not submitted an application for payment of insurance reimbursement by health insurance by Scott, which we were supposed to send after he visits a doctor on the island of Koh Samui. Besides, we both were gifts, which should also be sent home. We suggested to the office address service delivery Di-HC-El, which we thought was very close to our hotel. We boarded a bus, but eventually found nothing, there was just a residential area, no delivery services. A little more wandering in ferklempted, we caught a taxi and went to the southern part of the island (the trip took 40 minutes) to airport. We hypothesized that if somewhere on the island and there is a place where you can send a parcel, then it should go to the airport. It turned out we were wrong. We got to the airport, please contact customer support, where we were sent to completely the other end of town (another 10 minutes by taxi). Next we went to have another machine, it led a very courteous driver who rolled us around the block so that we can find the office of Di-HC-El. He even talked with local residents trying to figure out where this office is hiding. As a result, we found it. But to our dismay, we learned that Di-HC-El does not send mail to mailboxes (and we know only the mailbox of the insurance company, where we had to submit an application). In general, we have decided to send a parcel to my father, that he then forwarded it to the insurance company. Everything else we could not send (I can not tell what it is, because these things are still with me, and they will be souvenirs for those who are waiting for us at home). Local bus Let's not talk about the misfortunes that befell us on that day, better to go to the temple of snakes! (At that moment my whole nature cried out for help). We came out of a taxi in front of a rather ordinary at first glance, the temple, near which there were various stalls and shops. He looked quite mediocre ... until we went inside and saw about a dozen different species of poisonous snakes, which rested on the original stand, right next to the altar. The monks of the temple believe that the fragrance of incense smoke robs snake venom, making them safe. True or not, we do not know the snake looked very calm, so I was not afraid of (standing 10 meters away from them.) In the temple of snakes right from the main temple hall is located. If you enter into it, in the middle you can see the table on which lie three huge python, and behind him is a tree, covered with poisonous snake. Here you can take pictures with some of the snakes, obviv them around his hands. Behind the hall, there is something like a snake farm. Within 5 ringgit (1.56 Canadian dollars per person) can see 100 different species of snakes (they all sit in a special compartment) and learn how they are called, where they live and how they are poisonous. We learned a lot, especially because in between showings of snakes, we were taught how to distinguish between a poisonous snake, what to do if you are bitten by a snake and so on. Even showed us a large albino python, which gave us a hold. To the touch it was not such as I had imagined: it was smooth and cool, and his skin was very elastic. Also, we saw cells with rabbits and chickens (snake food?), Several large tortoises roamed freely here and there, but there were two middle-sized cells melenkogo elephant, in which there were two completely, I can not even describe their size, giant python. These behemoths could easily swallow a small car. They napped (and good!), Twist the big sites, but still could feel the power that was hidden inside them. The widest part of the largest snakes in thickness, must have been like my thigh. They were frighteningly beautiful! Albino Python After this spectacle, we returned to the first room and took pictures with pythons, Scott took to himself as much as three (they are heavy!), And then wily Malay, who was in charge all this business, without saying a word, put his head still and not toxic (it's what he said), a viper, and started photographing. I also photographed, but with only one python, not daring to approach something with teeth, regardless, it is poisonous or not. No, no, thank you! Start material: Completion of material:
