cinchedwaist7 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 yes, that is right. anyone have any suggestions for cheap airfare? It shall be covered by grant $$ when i get back, but i need to book asap. i'll be flying from chicago to jakarta. has anyone been to sumatra? I will be in the south, not toooo far from jakarta but in some of the most isolated rainforest in the region, in between Bengkulu and Bakauheni. Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. did i mention i'll be going in the forest all hours of the night to observe some primates? o, and there's endangered tigers, elephants, and rhinos in this area. I am absolutely insane. but it should be very interesting. I'm going with my advisor, another student, and some field guides so we don't walk in circles. what i'm out to look for: the particular one in this area has never been studied. probably b/c people aren't crazy enough maybe i'll see who knows what kind of fun critters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinchedwaist7 Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 thanks bebe ^^ i know they'll reimburse me later, i just gotta get the funds for now. I do feel lucky, it's just kinda wild. esp. to know that i'll be coming back for a whole year to get doctoral work done. craziness. the tiger is awfully cute, i'm just scared it'll eat me. probably not too much of a risk, tho. their scared of humans given the rate of poaching. i might go to bali when i'm in indonesia for the whole year, maybe as a getaway. we'll see. as for cigarettes, one of my teachers paid informants in indo with blocks of salt since they lived in the mountains and didn't have access to any. crazy the things we take for granted. how long are you going to the phillipines for ube?

Touch It Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Friends of our family have an escape house kinda where you're going. There's tons of crazy animals and super-dense vegetation. We were driving through the forest and came across some armed people camped out in a clearing. My cousin said they were a rogue milita group, def link up with people from the area don't go it alone. Over all everyone is pretty chill but in certain area's it can get hectic if your a foreigner . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
