This trip has been good. Met the main body of Rimba who lives in a field house right off the city area of Terengganu.
The entire journey from Kuala Lumpur was a whopping 7 hours before we are all settled down. Dinner was sumptous at Reuben's landlord's place where they had invited the Rimba group to join in.
Learnt that Reuben has been here for a couple of years and live fully on sponsorship in their research. This is something unusual which not many Singaporean guys will venture into doing. Considering the type of lifestyle one would have to live with, not many will be keen to take the plunge.
We had a walk around town, that was filled with the festive mood after dinner with the younger group. Street shows, decorations and fireworks could be seen around the heart of Chinatown which was within less than 10 minutes' walk from where we will be putting up.
Finally settled down in a room, courtesy of the landlord, for the night at 110hrs.
