Euphoric..

Here I am, back from the jungle. It was cool. I always knew I belong to the jungle. JK. Seriously, loved it. I wished the hotel could be better though. Hee..
So, we went jungle trekking. That was cool because we learnt some survival tips in the jungle. The guide told us that some girl got lost in Taman Negara for 19 days(I think). The place is huge. It's about 7 times bigger than S'pore. So she survived with jungle food. Moving on, we went for the canopy walk. And had to wait, and wait, and wait. We waited for more than 2 hours to get on it FYI. Gosh, and those people who puffed in the jungle weren't helping either. So, when we got on it, I went to pose silly poses on that walkway.
Oh yes, we went rapid shooting. I thought is was water rafting. Hee. Still, we were 100% wet. Real wet. And we stopped near the aborigines' village. Yes, orang asli. You know you actually have to pay to visit them. I hope they get their share. Well, they are the only people who are allowed to live in Taman Negara. We don't have the right to shoo them away. They are afterall the original Malaysians. And no, we didn't visit them. Dad said it would be n intrusion. Who would wan people to come to your house and stare at you?
Anyway, when we swam at the river near the hotel. It's not so near cuz we have to go through the jungle to get there. Anyway, it was really nice. Because we were the only ones there. Kinda. A few people went there but didn't swim. So they were off within seconds. And we had the place to ourselves. The was so calm, a perfect scene for a horror movie, as Amaru said. We also did go to feed fish. We had a boat ride on the river which was surrouned by trees. Spectacular, the view I mean. The 12 hours journey home wasn't so good though. I hate it.
But, I love Taman Negara. Malaysians should go there more often. Malaysia is beautiful (minus pollution). The tour guide said. Our group was rare as usually not many go there in groups. (we were the HSB group). Usually, only the westerns go there. Apparently they know more about the good stuff in Malaysia than us. Tsk3. Shameful.
So, I hope the school would like to make a trip there.
I guess it won't happen cuz it's not cheap.
