The seasalt coffee is awesome! they have 85C in California and it's been very popular. There's a location in Irvine and the Alhambra area and the line for the coffee is out the door!
I love this one take music video that Robert Downey Jr. did of Elton John's song. There's so much history to this song, too! RDJ was in the depth of his rehab stuff at this point.
I personally went to that elephant park in Chiang Mai, Thailand this past January and saw this for myself. About six or seven elephants all drew their own paintings. Some drew elaborate plants, flowers, and one even wrote in Thai!! I asked my tour guide if the elephants always draw the same thing and she said that the elephants do change it up from time to time.
I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes! They even have a gallery of paintings people can purchase. This specific elephant park also got in the Guinness Book of World Records (here is the site that shows the painting and "painters" http://www.gallerymaesa.com/gallery.php). What's cool is that they even have an area where you can watch the elephants get trained to paint. They don't show the trainers beating them (as another post had said). Having had worked in Thailand for the past year I have witnessed some people not treat elephants with the best care, but for the most part, they do treat them well. Elephants are regarded as magnificent animals to the country and are regarded very highly.
I've ridden elephants many, many times and I've never seen any metals rings or beatings. I'm an avid animal rights supporter, and I've seen worse treatment of elephants from us Americans during training for the circus.
some people think it's sick and sad that we eat cows. try to be more culturally sensitive please. and remember, north koreans are starving. should they not eat at all or eat what they can just to survive?
and considering that america's #1 on the obesity scale (no pun intended), we shouldn't have the right to say what someone eats is sick or not.
