Elephants are the largest living land animals. We can see them often in a zoo or sad to say, a circus. They are calm and gentle nature despite their size.
Have you tried riding an elephant? I had my chance so many times but I keep on saying no, I even missed my chance of exploring Angkor Archaeological Park riding an elephant, that would have been a great way to explore an ancient place. One reason is that I'm scared of heights and secondly I don't know what to expect, I always fear the unknown. Elephant Park at Ubud was included in our Bali Tour package so off we go, my companion loves to try riding an elephant I don't know how she did it but she was able to convince me to try it too!
Checkout my first elephant ride photos:

| yey I'm riding an elephant! |
 |
| then comes my first shower.... |
 |
| Pls ignore my facial expression, I think I smelled so bad the elephant showered me with more water.. haha or maybe that is his way of teasing me to let me know that they are not scary! |

| then check this out!! Cool right? |
Sometimes It's good to just set aside your fear and try things, you'll never know, maybe it is not that bad! You may even end up realizing that there is nothing to be scared of...
Enjoyed both the post AND the expressions ;-)
