VILLAGE LIVING OF KUALA TAHAN.
Dwana was able to see her Hornbills. They were right where the guide told us they would be. The guide being “me” – F. Olee UU. Up the steep paved hill past the rainforest resort in the tall monkey tree house. We also saw monkeys who eventuall scared the hornbills away by chasing them from branch to branch. Interesting animal interaction. Worth the walk. the monkeys, after the scared off the hornbills, were curious about what the other primates wee eating 100 meteres below. The monkeys basically fell from their perches 100 meters in the air into the boughs and limbs down through space in a matter of seconds. Amazing to watch. I guess having 4 ways to hold plus a tail grab gives a monkey a little more confidence with tree navigation and gravity. So clumsily graceful. Ezra ate a baby frog leg. That is all I can say about that. You must ask him yourself how that tasted. Viena was a bit upset for about 5 minutes. Dwana said the frog was a toad. She had a frog -toad revelation right there on the trail and I was there to witness the entire revelation. For once, we did not rise after the morning Muslim prayer. We just kept on sleeping until the lights of the day became brighter. We had our usual breakfast at the market center. The market people are becoming quite familiar with our faces by now. Ezra had a small bout of “I want Ice cream!”we all scream for ice cream, but that too was over soon enough. We saw our hiker friend Kim taking off in a minivan onto Kuala Lumpur or KL. I felt a twinge of sadness. That was a good hike that we had together on the backside of bukit Teresik. However, I do not feel the need to return to the jungle trails. Maybe the canopy walk once more. Or Bukit Teresik the easy way. Studied with both Ezra and Viena on their workbooks. Viena is improving with her ability to receive instruction from me. The day was cloudy in the morning but now the heat is out. Maybe we will play soccer again with Viena. An easy day to play and play here and there in the land of Malay. And after that cute little jingle, I must tell the world that I had to kill the biggest wasp that was in our room. Yellow and Black and Big. Right over our tent. Boom.
