Leanne and I decided to go to Kuching for Deepavali. A 3 day weekend and we headed out for the beach and the treehouses! Before the relaxation, there was a lot of shopping to be done. I have never seen so much woodwork and antiques in my life. Interesting to learn about the Malaysian tribes of the region and the beliefs of the people. One piece of art was a carving of a man. It is said that carvings were done of people to take all of the sickness away from a person and left in the forest. This was to take out all the bad and leave it to the spirits deep in the forest to be taken out of the body. Looking at the carving of the man, it looks like a weathered ghost... but my eyes were glued to the mystery of who this was carved for and what was wrong with him. No, I didn't buy it, but I can say I can still picture this carving.
The treehouse that we stayed in was incredible because of the silver leaf monkeys flying in the trees with us. Yes, the treehouse was about 100 meters in the air. It actually moved as another person walked in the room or even to flush the toilet. We had decided to watch a scary movie one night and I can truly say that I had a difficult time sleeping that night. Talk about the setting for a future scary movie! Is that my book????
