True story

Our year in the jungle is wrapping up.  We have learned so much, seen so much, and wouldn't trade this time for anything.  Here are the top 20 oddest/most fantastic/most shocking/most interesting things we've seen this year (that we could say/write in public):

20. disposable diapers washed and drying on the line

19. a woman with her baby in a stroller, on the back of a pickup truck

18. men walking around with bows and arrows on their backs

17. a 48 hr. wake in extreme heat (no embalming done here)

16. whole frogs blended up and sold as a health drink

15. a woman nursing someone else's baby, just to get him to stop crying

14. five of us big Americans in a 2 seater moto taxi

13. a mama cow meandering the busy market streets

12. a little boy urinating in the grass 5 steps from his front door (yes, there is a bathroom in his house)

11. a monkey wearing a diaper

10. dogs taking care of business on drying coffee beans (that are sold around the world)

9. barefoot kids shimmying up trees faster than a monkey

8. a little girl roller blading with a baby in her arms

7. a little boy walking around with fresh 3rd degree burns on his leg (uncleaned and uncovered)

6. a bonfire in the middle of someone's living room (works as mosquito repellent)

5. a man walking around town with a boa constrictor around his neck

4. 2 little girls "watching" their baby sister and losing her (we searched for hours)

3. 40 people standing and sitting on the sides of the back of a truck on the most dangerous roads
