Happiest moment of
my life =)
Panda Research Center in Chengdu
Paid 50RMB = about $6 to some guy to let us go in the enclosed area and pet a Giant Panda behind a cage - shady China men =P
This one is an adult panda and he was so cute. At first I was afraid to touch him because he was eating bamboo and wasn't sure if he would get mad.
Eventually I pet him and he started to tilt his head back as if to say 'ahhh yeah right there' =P

Paid 100RMB = about $12 to take a picture with a baby panda (about 1 year old - felt like 60 lbs or so)
Had to wash our hands and put on a blue smock before handling the pandas - for any of you that think that's what I decided to wear that day and we all match =P
I have more pictures but haven't scanned those yet and these were the only ones on the digital camera.

I was so happy - I paid again to take more pictures and this time I asked if I could feed the panda - so the guy gave me an apple =Þ
The panda didn't eat it but just smelled it.
