FRIM czyli Forest Research Institute of Malaysia or something

Hi, here is me. On top of some mountain with view over Kuala Lumpur City. This time I want to show you a jungle (a place where is couple more trees than in a normal forest). :) there is no particular order of those photos so lets start.


And here is my lovely travel companion. Brave and unstoppable Magziunia.

Here is where biggest canopy walk I ever seen starts.

4 bridges connected by 3 platforms, 30 meters above ground and just 15 cm wide. Only 250 people a day can go trough this bridge. And there is more restrictions. Only 2 people at the time can be on the bridge maintaining 3 meter distance. In other words it was very wobbly.

To get here we had to walk through tropical forest for about an hour.

"I'm on top of the World !!!"

But experience is worth it.

Beauty of tropical forest. Place where river has its beginning.

Magz is making way trough the joungle, as you see it's not so easy.

Here is more of Magz skills.

There is always time to get some sun rays.

Place where forest is getting more accesible, rivers is calmer. You can find local life there.

Local kids playing in the water.

As far I recall that was december... (!!!)

Local Ants or spiders who knows what that is or how dangerous.



And at the end of the journey you can enjoy real Malay cousine for just 8 RM for two plates. (less than 2 euro!!!) That wasn't a fancy restaurant, that wasn't even a restaurant. It was something like local canteen... We were the only foreign people there. :)



Raking jungle... I'm just wondering how well paid this job is...

Paparazzi were everywhere...

Local kids were very cheerful and they gladly pose to pictures.





That was one of the smaller leaves.

I swear!! There was something!! jungle was moving !!!
