Didn't you catch them at the light?"

I didn't catch it at all. It is almost impossible to be alone in the bosom of nature - there are people everywhere and everyone is like one - Buddhists! Only 10% of the island's forests have been preserved (the rest was cut down for wood and for agriculture-rice and tea frown.gif. In short, you can only run away to national parks, and even there tourists are taken by jeep everywhere in sight. So only photos remain frown.gif
