4WD Trip

One week later we went on our next trip - a 4WD drive through Taman Negara (Malaysia's equivalent of Algonquin Park). Although we didn't actually get to drive the jeeps, it was a pretty cool trip... off-roading through rivers in a national park...

Our first stop was a mushroom factory. Here they are filling bacgs with all the ingredients used to germinate the mushrooms (sadly I have no idea what they are).

The mushroom jars are stacked in a huge warehouse where they are left to germinate.

Just like Momma used to make.

Our 4WD. From left to right: Jenn, Elsa, Chris and Mark - all of them teach at Sunway with us.

One of several streams we drove through.

Careful.. that last step's a doozy!

We stopped here for lunch and a quick swim. It was suprisingly cold.

Jenn eating a rambutan - very similar to suck-fruit (aka guinep or chennette)

Our next stop was probably the most exciting one - a peanut plantation!! Woo-hoo!

Sorting the peanuts.

The last stop of our tour - a tofu plant... run right out of some guy's garage. Yum!
