A Camel With No Name

Laura* and I went to Bikaner, a desert town up by the Pakistani border, to get our camel safari on. Although I was disappointed to discover it wasn't desert as in Aladdin desert, but more like The Hills Have Eyes desert, we still had a bangin' time

We rode out on camels in the afternoon. I figured since I can ride a horse, I'd be able to handle a camel easy- it's just like a slightly higher level mount, right?
Wrong. So wrong.
They are nothing like horse. They're just straight up murder machines. Every time you even try to steer them, like, a tiny big, they rear their heads around and try to rip your face off with their giant yellow teeth. Also, they kick you. While you are on top of them. It's pretty ninja.



We slept out under the stars; and when we woke up their were all these wild dogs curled up in our beds- It can't of been for the heat, so I guess they were just lonely. Aww.

I was going for the Laurence of Arabia look. Nailed it.

* Laura is a beautiful, sweet German girl who works in the same slum as I do. She's so beautiful and sweet, in fact, that I have an ongoing theory she's actually a live Barbie doll, like in that Tyra Banks- Lindsay Lohan movie
