Now you've got me scared to come visit. I think I'll die in the jungle from a heart attack from trying to keep up with you despite being over a year younger!

I told my son about your friend who hikes 20-40 miles through the jungle and he didn't believe it. That's what happens when you live on flat land and use tractors, etc. to do much of your work for you.
I don't get constipated cos I drink alot of water all the time. Maybe cos of the life style with many people drinking alcohol related stuff, probably there is mild dehydration setting in.
That guy goes one way 10 miles empty handed and comes out the other 10 full of stuff. I once asked him why he didn't go in during the rains to get me stuff, he says, "Orang Asli not Superman you know, I can fall and get totally stuck in the mud especially carrying all the plants!" I just laughed.
One of my very close friend who works with the aborigines had an accident and broke his ankle cos his leg slipped in a hole in the jungle. They were quite deep in and the Orang Asli made a stretcher to carry him out. He told me despite the pain, he was looking up all the time and didn't realise how different the jungle look from that angle...and all the time he heard the Orang Asli complained to each other that it was like carrying a big heavy dead wild pig on a stretcher!
I will take you for warm ups first before going to the hard core jungle, howzat?
