On a recent Sunday, Nuch and decided to visit the Bangpu Seaside Resort. There are a few bungalows where you can stay, but most people come to take a walk on the pier and feed the seagulls.
I know it doesn't sound like the most exciting way to spend a Sunday afternoon, but these seagulls kick a$$.
In the picture below you can see Nuch's outstretched arm as she tosses up a juicy morsel for the seagull. Simple enough, but if you take a closer look you can see the seagull catching it in it's mouth. In fact, anything thrown up generally gets caught.
These seagulls were amazing - the were Willie Mays shagging flies, rarely dropping anything.
In a flock, they would fly in a holding pattern, coming up the length of the pier, eventually veering off to the East, then back to shore, where they would turn around and make another run.
So, what is a seagulls preferred snack, you may ask?
Deep-fried pork nuggets.
They're a bit greasy, so after you've finished, the vendors have provided a water basin to wash your hands.
When the tide is out, the end of the pier, which is about a quarter mile long, is left high and dry.
This dog decided it was a good place to enjoy the cool, wet sand.
This fish, perhaps one of our ancestors, has feet and can walk around when the water is too shallow to swim in.
Some other pics from the afternoon.
