The ABC special for dinner

A day in the village

Spent part of the morning helping the women prepare lunch of locally grown veggies.



Then, sang and danced the hokey pokey with my new friends.

They weren't kidding about Kampung Kiding

20 scientists, staff members and village porters set off to Kampung Kiding at 10 am. Three hours and 17 bamboo bridges later, we arrive!

Forget Dr. Scholl's ...

Came back from the jungle village a day early. Got me a one hour foot massage for $12 from a Chinese guy, alongside 6 other clients with their massage therapists in the same room, had dinner and a lime-ade for less than $2; and watched two telenovelas: one from India; and the other from Malaysia. Didn't understand a word anyone said all day, but I got my day of pampering in. :)
