Indigenous village

After the nature hike we went by canoe to another island inhabited by an indigenous tribe. The tribe I believe receives money to  maintain the rituals for tourism.

We stopped to try foods including Brazil nuts, rambutan (which I have not had since I left China), and a tapioca pan.

On the left are larvae and on the right are dried ants. Yes, I tried both of them.

The ant.

These Brazil nuts are actually found in a giant pod. I did not know that.

They use the office of the eucalyptus tree to start a fire to begin the ceremony.

Rambutan
These people were such fun buddies for several days.
