i pulled into nangabulik, a small town heading towards kalbar, on a hot afternoon and stopped at a pompa bensin (gas station) for a rest.. 10 minutes later i had many friends and knew i would be spending at least one nite.. i stayed with robi in one of the houses connected to the gas station via wooden walkways suspended over the river.. i had such a great time with these guys and it was so hard to leave.. one nite they took me deep into the forest to fish and shoot birds.. we caught many river fish and within minutes they were on skewers over a fire and we used leaves as plates and ate the fish with salt, kecap (a thick sweet soy sauce), and of course lots of chili..
the next morning before leaving i had an amazing breakfast of jungle pig and arak in the home of the boss of the gas station.. he made the arak himself (arak: strong liquor made from rice) and i hit the road at 9am half drunk and full of delicious wild pig!!
