I am actually quite jealous that you got to go. I think rats are the cutest…I’ve had a lot of pet rats over he years and they’re great.. infact I’m staring at two right now. I guess I’ll have to wait to see this for real when I go this fall.

Haha love the awesome last picture! I have never heard of Rat Temples before! What an interesting place (albeit slightly yucky) to have visited. Thanks for sharing your story Alex

Don’t they get sick with leptospirosis in there?

Haha, thanks. Luckily I was traveling with a few friends, and we all encouraged one another to go for it. Besides, I figured if nothing else, it would make for a good story after the fact! .-= Alex´s last blog ..President of the Czech Republic Vaclav Klaus, and former Prime... =-.

Maybe you can just channel the rat temple and convince yourself the mice are “good luck!”

Holy crap! I've never heard of such a place, but that's pretty awesomely crazy. I don't think I would have had the guts to go, let alone pose with the rats. Kudos! .-= Nancy´s last blog ..Book Review: Blood Done Sign My Name =-.

Oh my god. Don't think I could do this. I lose my mind when we have MICE in the house. .-= Candice´s last blog ..The Internet is watching =-.

That looks like a true test of wanting to get outside your comfort zone – I’m not sure I could have handled the rats brushing up against me!! Really neat though, glad I get to live this vicariously through you Alex!
