Elder Abuse

We went to FRIM.

Saw lots of cool plants. This tree actually has a parasite growing on it and is two trees.

We hiked. At the end Uncle Jack called the hike elder abuse.

It was not easy.

 But there was a cool tree canopy. The guide said the trees may produce a chemical similar to juglone that prevents them from touching.

This is a native house that is over 100 years old. The cool plants are called lipstick palms.

Then we went to Batu Caves.

There was a hungry dog.

The elder abuse continued. 272 steps.

To be honest it was pretty disappointing. If we had paid it would have felt like a tourist trap.

Not clean.

There were monkeys that creeped me out. There was monkey that threw the bottom of a coconut on the stairs that really scared a tourist climbing the steps. As soon as she realized what happened she started laughing and so did I. I looked at the monkey and he smiled at me! When we got in the cab to go home he said these were naughty monkeys. They steal people's cameras and take them to the forest and play other tricks on people.
