Juicy Jellyfish Jungle Jam

Update: Images have been added.

I don’t even try to write a sensible introduction.

  • went to the island Mamutik and did some snorkeling. The trip could have been funnier, the jellyfish however had other plans
  • never thought supposedly cute little fish can be so impertinent (however, we ate some out of revenge afterwards, that will teach them a lesson) — no, seriously, snorkeling was quite nice, but being nibbled by curious fish every five minutes was new to me
  • something that’s really sad about this place here is there is so much garbage floating in the sea, on our trip to the island you could see empty bottles and plastic parts every few hundred meters; what a wasted paradise
  • in case you get easily frightened by lizards (I mean the large ones, not the cute little things less than half a meter length) crossing your way, then Mamutik might actually be quite a good place not to start you trip
  • one hour foot massage: 9,50€ (plus additional 10 minutes of back-kneading for free). Have been told I had purred all the time, can’t remember, memory blurred, will repeat experiment tomorrow
  • science, once more: I hereby postulate that evolution will eventually make city-dwlling snakes become either much smaller (or way faster), especially near broad roads
  • if you like the cart-feeling, just rent a Perodua Kelisa and drive through the streets of KK, feels the same
  • went into a gas station to buy some waters, out of which emerged a discussion with the locals about football and Ballack
  • today we agreed to redefine our notion of ‘jungle’: no matter what the vegetation looks like; if we still got cell phone reception we won’t call it jungle
  • the sunset here is so unbelievably fast, it only takes a (very) few minutes for the sun to descend below the horizon, and the afterglow is just as staggering
  • event of the evening: birthday party featuring an infinite amount of juicy milkshakes, six girls, two guys, one cake
