Tomorrow I'm off to celebrate the most unusual christmas at Chitwan nationalpark! I'm guessing it's gonna be an adventure, prepared with a couple of bottles of wine and our animalhats.

Don't know if the animalhats are the best idea we had so far, since there might be encounters with wild animals (and frankly I don't even want to know how they would react on a finnish girl dressed as a cow!).

I've got some great tips on what to do if I would encounter one of theese interesting (I say dangerous) animals:

Apparently the best way to deal with a sloth bear, is to climb a tree. Cause the male bears will go for your face, and the females will attack you down under... When encountering a rhino, one must climb a big tree! If that fails, it's good to run in a ziczac pattern whilst dropping an item of clothing! If you come upon a tiger, one must back up very slowly, and then turn and run.

And best of all; You cannot run from an elephant and climbing a tree will not help. If an elephant charges, you die.

So merry Christmas folks! Hope to be around for new years!
