Bangkok Gig
Saturday, Oct 18, 2008 8:10PM / Standard Entry
After Africa, I went straight to Bangkok. Believe me, packing for the trips was no fun !! Asian Hip Hop Festival was really well done. I think we did a good job. I took some video from the stage and the crowd reaction was really good. I will upload those later. It was also great seeing all the other groups as everyone brought something different to the show. Some had BBoys, some played a few instruments, Thaitanium had a bunch of girls dancing at one stage. They really rocked their home turf. Nas was really good but to be honest, no matter how good their rhymes and flow are, I get bored watching just one guy and a DJ for anything more then 30mins. The after partg was also fun, Nas turned up as did most of the other crews. Anyhow check out the pics.
MC Hotdog was really good. He had a bigger crew this time.
The HK boys enjoying the show...
Nas finally came on after a long wait... I got some good shots as I used my DSLR.

Safari
Thursday, Oct 16, 2008 6:30PM / Standard Entry
The second part of our trip was to Kurger National Park for a safari. We have been wanting to do this for ages and this was the perfect excuse to go. We were there for 5 days and you basically drive around for about 6 hours a day, 3 in the morning beginning at 530am and then 3 hours in the early evening starting around 430pm. They feed you none stop, even when you are out looking for animals, they will break after about 2 hours and put a table with all sorts of drinks and snacks. Morning will be coffee and stuff and afternoon is almost a full bar and snacks. You still have breakfast, lunch and dinner back at the camp so that means they feed you 5 times a day. Its not a camp at all, lts a resort. At night after dinner you have to have a guard walk you back to the room as all sorts of animals come into the lodge area at night and there are many stories of people killed by animals.
Anyhow it was really quite amazing and we are really glad we did it. We managed to see th "big 5" which are basically all the animals that will kill a human. It includes Lions, Elephants, Buffalo, Rhino, and Leopard. There are loads of other animals around like Monkeys, Baboons, all sorts of antelopes, Wilder beast, Wild Boar, Giraffes, some amazing birds etc.
It was 2 hour flight from Cape Town and then a 2 hour drive. The first thing we saw was a Giraffe and this was just driving to the place.
Our first drive, we were lucky and saw lots of elephants and a pair of Lions amd Rhinos.
The hippo is also consider one of the most dangerous animals there and we spotted this one way out of the water chilling in the bushes.
The next day we saw the same pair of Lions eating. The are brothers but apparently even brother don't share their food so only the big one got to eat.
Walter the guard likes to dance and blow his whistle every time our range rover drives pass. The other photo is the bar they set up while you're out there. There's nothing like seeing man eating animals while you've had a few drinks.
Apparently Buffalos are also really dangerous. They told us that if we got off, they would charge at us try and kill us with their horns then trample on you till y ou stop moving. Killer gecko n the wall.
When the rangers go out, they take the big ass elephant stopping 457 rifle. Oh that's me doing some tracking...
The view from our room was amazing, a herd of elephants would come and drink in day time and a ddbig Lion would sit about 200 meters from us. We made sure our door was closed at night.
The food was really good. We Tate everything from Wild Boar, to Wilder Beast to Kudu, Impalas etc.
Elephants Buffalos and Hippos apparently kill most people out of all the big animals. The Leopard took us 4 days to track and they finally found it wandering around. It was amazing to see. They walk right pass our topless car and look at us.
my wife getting some sun. A pic with out ranger Enok and tracker Sam.
The Leopard taking a pee.
We found another pride of female lions as they came upon some lunch, they started stalking which was really exciting. They drive riht next to the Lions and they don't pay any attention to the car at all. They didn't catch anything but it was still great to watch. That's all folks !

Dave Chappelle

I almost forgot. You would never guest who I ran into in Africa !! Well you know cause my title is called Dave Chappelle. He was at the Table Mountain Cable car area having a cig. He noticed me looking at him and gave me a nod, probably because my mouth dropped. Probably a little surprised that a Chinese guy recognized him in Africa. I rarely asked for a photo with any celebrities but I am a big fan of his and I was really surprised to see him in Africa and my wife encouraged me to take a photo so I did ! He was nice enough and said he's off duty but no problem ! Incase you don't know who he is...
Me and Dave f_ _ king Chappelle !!!
Some of his work..
