My extraordinary life! To one of the world’s most exciting forest!
The sun rises from the East, shining bright
across the Amazon River, as known as home to over 3000 species natural habitats
where they crawl and slay little puny midgets.
The Amazon Forest, situated in South
American and it is often described as a ‘dangerous place’, a place that it is
very unusual If the guardian or parent’s taking little monsters – referring to
mischievous kids here. So what experience was it like? Dangerous, dangerous and
dangerous I suppose!
Tough, but enjoyable.
This is the furthest and probably the
toughest challenge I have been ever taken in my life, visiting a place where you can get slaughtered to many
different ways that you wouldn’t even expected how ‘they’ will be doing it.
Touch the poison dart frog, I dare you if
you want to become the parody of sleeping beauty, or should I say a meal to be?
– ah!
Walking down alongside the river bend as
the shallow water rushing and flushing down so quickly, water splashes and hits
the rock like they’re having a fight, this is extremely necessarily looking
after little monkeys as they might end up the piranha’s meal.
Gero tours - walking unsteadily on bamboos;
bamboo sticks everywhere; birds singing; actively hot during the day and cold
as the Antarctica at night due to rapidly change in the climate, hot and humid.
It could lead to dehydration if you don’t drink a plenty of waters, even though
water is available anytime due to there is a ‘river’ but be careful as it may
be lice’s looming inside the water – Yuck! Devil and the deep blue sea, water
splashes, shocking, and unconsciousness...carnivores lurking around the edge, a
sick and dying manatee’s had been taken down and finished off by a school of
ravenous piranha during the dry season when they are notoriously aggressive.
From miles away you can hear my tacky voice – apparently shouting was a
definite action in this trip because you will never know what will happen to
you next in terms of you might be followed by trillions of bullet ant, who
knows?’
The next following morning we were
strolling down the forest – the smell of the species richness’s in the
biodiversity, green; red; blue – so colourful and tall gigantic attention-getting
tree trunks within a maze-like forest, and the monsoon rain could drag down
these brutal trunks, where you had to jump in and out and not to fall. Keep
your balance. ‘How am I going to conserve this place?’– the question
throws me into a thought of , indeed it is extraordinary to see such things especially
we live in the inner cities where nature
has been buried alive and unrevealed due to civilizations – or never be able to
reveal. Shocking.
As
we reached down an unknown forest, greeting the natives with their house being
built on branches, sounding so dramatic and satisfying as there are over 30
different of them living in such awe-inspiring environment – blue fronted amazon;
spectacled owls; hyacinth macaw as they are looking very glamorously for the ‘Carnival
do Brazil’ or more like a haute couture being held
in the forest. It seems like an animated film being brought to life
whereas they are so amazed of Mother Nature’s creation.
As the weeks goes by we finally reached our
final destination ‘Meetings
of waters’, standing between the dark Rio negro and pale sandy coloured Rio
Solimões, learning about the reasons behind the river colourations, made myself
appreciated what I have learnt from their chemistry class in school, great
opportunity on applying knowledges in nature. I was very surprised that they
were fighting over trying to explain the idea behind to me. Amazon isn’t just
an ordinary place, it is a place that stretches your children’s mind.
Being mainstream
isn’t good, visit some other countries and be an extraordinary family unlike
the others.
