| I can't not include this picture. Poor poor creature. |
 |
| This was the tray full of 'ingredients' that were sprinkled into our betel nut packet. I cannot tell you what a single one of them is. I thought the tin with colorful jimmy/sprinkle like things looked tasty but in hindsight I think it might be fertilizer. |

| The finished product. Ipecac for little India. |
 |
| Travel through South East Asia isn't complete with out some snake charmin'. I like adventure, but watching this snake 'show' made me really really nervous. |
 |
| That said..we both took part in the fun. |
 |
| I don't like snakes..but, with a temperature of 100 degrees, it was quite pleasant to have this live cool-pack wrapped around my neck. |
 |
| Seven pools waterfall from above. We rode the cable car to the top of a nearby mountain to check out the island of Langkawi. |

| Walking the suspension bridge at the top of the mountain. |

| Another bridge shot. |

| Notice..about a 100 meters in the distance.... |

| Rubber tree doing what it does.. |
As a side note:
We met a crazy old man on the tour of the spice plantation. He very sternly informed us both about one more thing that monkeys hate (so he wasn't completely crazy). I find it intriguing how many people know just one or two things on the monkey most hated list. This man did a demonstration of how smiling at a monkey can actually make the monkey think you are challenging it to a fight. He claimed to have seen this very dangerous misunderstanding in person. I think the seriousness with which I received his warning made him think that I was toying with him. Even when I assured him that I knew full well that monkeys can rip people's faces off in the blink of an eye..he looked to Nathan to make sure I wasn't being snide. Nathan shook his head as if to say...'No pal, she's dead serious.'
Then the ol' man bought me a drink. Making friends all over the globe.
