We have arrived at the sacred Monkey Forest!
Look at this I just bought my admission tickets they were 50,000 rupiah about 5 dollars [Canadian] per ticket
I'm a little bit on edge this morning. I didn't actually know if I wanted to even come here as there are many monkeys and...
wild animals
In their natural habitat is great
but I don't know if I should be entering.
Going to try to keep my distance and if the monkeys do approach me, I guess there's nothing I can really do about that.
We're going to see how today goes I'm going to try to not freak out, stay calm.
I got to remember that, but so far the
surroundings look absolutely beautiful.
That's really why we're here. We're here to see some monkeys but also take in the environment as well. Let's go do that.
My god, they're buying bananas. That monkey's going to go ape-$#!%.
See I don't have to worry here because I don't have the bananas.
I'm always a little bit worried if one monkey is gonna sneak up behind me - oh my God!
It's actually quite frightening when the monkeys are circling a group.
Sometimes I don't even realize I'm in a group until a monkey is circling and I try to hightail it on out of there.
Good thing they can't smell fear because I think I would be the main attraction then.
*Scary Music Plays*
Cripes all mighty!
Heather?
It's all around us.
Heather I'm actually out of here!
Maybe the big guy's angry?
There might be a fight!
Oh God!
I'm out of here!
Jesus Christ!
*laughing* Was that scary for you? Did you get that?
Yeah.
You did?
Yeah.
It is a completely different world here.
Okay, I'm ready to get out of here, but as you see how I've changed. My mood and...
...how I feel about the animals, if you give them their space, they'll give you yours.
