chengdu has the only panda sanctuary in the world. no one living in chengdu i talked to has been there; it's full of "waiguoren" - foreigners, like me.
you have to go early in the morning, before it gets too hot and the pandas are just sleeping or go into their air-conditioned cages. all they do is eat. they sit there and eat bamboo, and they just let the scraps fall on their stomachs. the only reason they move is if there's no more bamboo within reach. after this my mom started calling me "panda".
even though all they do is eat... it's SO cute. there were like 40 people just standing there watching these guys. i took a bunch of videos too, but i don't know how to post them here. maybe facebook?

i think the pandas know how to put on a show for the tourists too. one of these guys just laid on top of the other panda in the cage and all the tourists went crazy, myself included.
on a sidenote, my mom's old college buddy had a cat in his house and i think i took 100Mb worth of pictures of him (the cat). so cute!
