I was in a small forest heading towards a cave, which on the map was meant to be something beautiful for visitors to see. The map failed to mention that the only way to reach it was to get into the water and swim across, something none of us wanted to do. To reach the end of the forest that touches the lake, we walked on the boardwalk, and were fortunate enough to see wild animals like this monkey. There was a group of 6 hanging out in a tree, and they were quite curious about us, even though I’m sure they’re used to seeing humans.

Fey was scared of them, but I approached them to take pictures and observe them. They sat in the tree and stared at us, except for this one that jumped down in front of us and stared even harder. I think he was trying to tell us to get lost, but we ignored him and walked on, to which he jumped back in the tree to continue playing.

Upon leaving the forest, I got into an accident on my rented scooter, jumping the ramp and hitting a tree. I caused a few hundred American dollars worth of damage to the bike. A truck driver saw the accident happen and quickly stopped. He picked me up and helped me into his car and drove me to the hospital. The hospital cleaned me up and gave me drugs. The best thing about the hospital was the guy handcuffed to the bed next to me with stomach injuries. The police were hitting him with their sticks, but he wouldn’t say anything.
