Volunteer

December, 13th 2004
  I am on the boat back to Tanjung Harapan camp, the forest view on my left and right side look beautiful, especially after the rain. The green leaves look greener and the river was so calm. I ‘ve been on the boat for about one hour, just sitting and thinking back. Saying good bye to Anna was hard,  she  was our volunteer who  had stayed with me in my bedroom for almost 1, 5 month, now she is on the way back to her country, New Zealand, and tomorrow I will say another good bye to Jon,  the English volunteer from England. I think my life in this jungle would be filled with people who would come and go as quick as the wind blows.

Gotcha!

February, 25th 2005
Orangutan Adung grabbed Pak Dollah, one of the quarantine staff’s T-shirt when he was walking by his cage. Actually orangutan is such a calm animal, but Adung was so clever that he acted calmly as usual and found a moment that people  who carelesly walking close by his cage,  in the next second he moved so quickly to grab something what his long arm could reach. Maybe in his mind he said” Gotcha”! Although tried hardly to keep his T-shirt on but Adung easily took it off from Pak Dollah , and within few minutes it  was torn to pieces. I gave Pak Dollah a new T-shirt because I thought it was valuable for him, besides it will be funny to walk home topless.
