I keep forgetting to ask you, are the cows and camels friendly? Will they let you approach them and pet them? I would miss that too!!!

I just saw Slumdog Millionaire and thought of you guys a lot. Thanks for doing your work there!

So which is better: to be a cow there and eat from the dump or be a cow here and become a yummy dinner? Hmmm...
