    When I woke up on Saturday morning, I couldn't believe the rain has stopped and I could see the beautiful blue sky & the bright sun !!! It rained for so many days in this rainy season in the beginning of 2007. Some places in northern Sarawak & Sabah are hit by the flood!

    My destination was Gunung Chupak, a limestone hill in Serian - Padawan area.


    What a beautiful sunny day in the mid of rainy season.






    Trail to a hut in paddy field:






    Gunung Payang, a limestone hill next to Gunung Chupak. The limestone hills are very sharp. I need to climb by wearing hand gloves.

    I thought Gunung applies to high mountain and small hills are called Bukit? That limestone hill so small also call Gunung?

    Long time never eat langsat and duku already. Are these wild ones nice?
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Limestone hill = Gunong / Gunung in Bidayuh language. I don't think I can change the name from Gunung to Bukit.

    haha, I always thought Gunung / Bukit is like Mountain / Hill.
