But this time we are more adventurous, even attempted successfully  to cross this rickety two-planks-wide (narrow would be a better word) bridge.

Tell all your macho friends, we farm crocodiles here in Sarawak. Aren’t we brave?

Besides these places we also cover all the usual food and drinks and city walks which I think I had written about in previous years.

We may be at the wrong side of twenty, but we are still young at heart =)
