@johnpeterharvey what a nice little snail!

@paultibbetts looks like a great way to finish!

@TheTrip Very cool creatures!

@Miraz Did Deb find it in a local store?

@lmika the dark blue on their bellies is very pretty!

@chadkoh Wow 😍

@Miraz I’m not sure if that’s intentional, especially the use of ‘child’. I assume this was made in China for a non-Western market, so the English is a little different than native speakers would expect. I don’t actually remember if the box had any other evidence to support my conclusion (I don’t even know 100% that it was made in China!) - this is based on my general observation of Chinese products in Kyrgyzstan

@Miraz @jasraj yes, it’s a foal! I think it has been there since about the beginning of the month. I wish it had more space to roam, but at least it’s not tied to one place and they give it food to eat

@rpmik @Miraz I found the white ring captivating, but now I can’t unsee the googly eyes 😂 and I love how it has its mouth open in the second photo!

@Miraz yeah, it really could be useful! But I think the only person in my host family who uses it is my host sister (even then, she rarely uses the outhouse since we also have a toilet inside the house). I don’t think my host grandpa even uses it, but I could be wrong..
