1、Gloria的泰国的六周之旅非常开心，但这之中有个小小插曲让她不快，是什么呢？Todd: So, how was your trip to Thailand?Gloria: Oh, I spent about six weeks in Thailand and had a really, really great time. I spent three weeks in Northern Thailand and then three weeks on the beach in the southern part of Thailand but my last night I was pack
2、ing up and I had a suitcase in the corner with the warm clothes from Northern Thailand and I saw something dark in the corner, and Im thinking, Oh, its just some clothes that fell out of my suitcase so I reach out to grab the clothes and something dark rose up and spread out and it was the weirdest
3、feeling because at the same time I felt like a hand grab me from behind and yanked me out of the cabin and I didnt feel any fear until I was in the middle of the clearing and I screamed twice, and got everybodys attention, What? What? What? and I said snake and of course a few people started laughin
4、g, thinking, Oh, well, this little bitty green, harmless snake Ah, no big deal. So one of the little bitty Thai girls, walks into my cabin and she comes running out, Ah, snake! and so it was a black king cobra, which is the most poisonous snake in the world, and this is really kind of scary because
5、my little brother had been killed by a snake and so its frightening to me to think how close I came. After I left Thailand, two things happened: I found some photographs in which in the photographs that I took of my cabin you could see the snake crawling into my cabin and the other one is an e-mail
6、from the owners of the resort that they found two more cobras underneath my bed. Todd: Wow, oh man! So normally do they have king cobras on that part of the island?Gloria: No, they dont. They say they may come in when they transport, the building, theyre making a lot of new buildings so they brought in wood from Northern Thailand and maybe it came in there. Also the envirorments being upset and theyre chopping down a lot of trees, and theyre finding more and more snakes that they didnt know were there. Todd: Wow, well, youre very lucky.Gloria: Yeah, Ive been told that!
