Via inheriting my son's computer, I discovered a few pics from a couple years ago. Here's a leaf in the jungle. They get pretty big.
I believe this is Khota Bharu in Kelantan. This is the Nenggiri River. The rivers are the exact colour of te terik (pulled tea, or tea with sweet milk in it).
Some of us just love the jungle. I love the trees and the diversity that can be found in what I call the "real" jungle. Primary jungle is not easy to find, what with all the logging going on and the plantations of palm oil palms.
If you're new to Malaysia and wondering why all the palm trees look exactly the same, all line upon line for miles and miles and miles, that's because they're growing palm tree for their cooking oil. Palm oil is very popular and is used as fuel as well as in many products around the world. If you check out the ingredients on many processed food packages, you
will find palm oil is one of them. It shows up everywhere. And Malaysia grows it like it's going out of style! It's just everywhere! I sure hope it doesn't get attacked with some kind of disease or this country is going to look naked.
Hanging bridges give one a great view of the canopy. Watch out for ticks. You don't feel the bite until after the little sucker falls off. Then, it's really itchy!
Love the jungle? Here are some authentic jungle bunnies. That's a hand-made thatched roof!
Complete with wall-to-wall broadloom. Or should I say, "slat-to-slat"? Breezy and natural, don't you think?
