picture a day: dabong, malaysia

Starting before dawn on December 10th, we travelled from Gua Musang to a village of less than 300, called Dabong (don't worry: you only giggle the first few times you say this aloud.)

Grabbed a breakfast of roti from a family-run stand.

Wandered down streets, through backyards (inadvertently), and along village lanes.

Were found by a mountain guide, who goes by the name of Uncle, and shown to his information shack.

Ate a decorative mix of meat, veg and rice for lunch.

Dropped off our stuff at a hostel.

Gawked at a mobile fishmonger.

Wandered the streets some more.

Saw evidence of the monsoon.

Used the library's free computers to email.

Avoided a huge and angry chicken.

Saw the base of a massive waterfall.

Had dinner with some friendly hikers from Singapore.

And, stayed up too late reading.

As usual, the "picture a day" series remain among my favorites. Was the "decorative mix of meat, veg and rice" as delicious as it looks? I'm still giggling about Dabong.
