There’s a Kuya Kim in all of us

After posting my favorite photo of me with Bentley the koala taken during my recent trip to Australia, I was reminded of my other photos taken in different places that I also wanna share. When traveling, having pictures taken with animals is just as common as posing in front of historical sites and famous tourist spots — especially if they are endangered and are not easily found elsewhere. Hee. View my Matanglawin moments below!

The endangered Tarsier found in Bohol, Philippines

Squirmy Squirt in Tanjung Benoa, Bali

Ack! I almost died. 0_0

Pagasa's long-lost cousin

Monkey business in Uluwatu, Bali

Shark attack at the Siam Ocean World in Bangkok

Aboard elephant named "Tombun" in Kanchanaburi, Thailand

Tigers in Thailand make great pets!

Kangaroos in Brisbane, Australia

And... my fave picture with a koala at the Koala Sanctuary

I hope I’d have the chance to see more not-so-common animals around the world to add to my Matanglawin Chronicles.

wah! I really regret that I wasn’t able to see the tarsiers in Bohol

You’ve been to a lot of places Joni! Livin the life talaga, next up Europe naman!

tarsiers! i’m still sad that my kuya didn’t let me tag along to bohol with him when they went. :/ and it’s funny, i don’t think i’ve taken pictures with any animals in any place that i’ve gone to. then again, that might stem from the fact that i don’t like taking pictures with me in them, hahahaha.

Waa you should have gone to see the tarsiers. I’m sorry to break the news to you both but you missed half of your life. LOL JK!!

@Mae – Europe? naku, matagal-tagal pa yun. unless all-expense-paid uli? haha.

@Keng – The picture with the snake wasn’t easy. Pinilit lang talaga ako ng mga kasama ko. And if you look at the picture closely, you’ll see I’m teary-eyed hahahaha
