[1425] Of before you go…

This subsiding weekend is one of few which routines were delightfully broken. I was at the Malaysian Nature Society-managed Kuala Selangor Nature Park to celebrate its 20th anniversary with friends.

I stayed there and the accommodation was surprising comfortable given my initial expectation. I guess, if one had expected the worst, almost anything would surpass that expectation; I brought a sleeping bag with me but it was an unnecessary burden. Or maybe, I had a full day and I could hardly notice anything to complain about.

One of the first activities were tree planting but several groups and one of them represented ExxonMobil. I am unsure how over a thousand sapling planted would offset Exxon’s carbon emissions but at least something, eh?

There is a walkway from a man-made coastal bund into the mangrove swamp which the saplings were planted. Anybody that wishes to take a walk into the swamp via the walkway will notice this:

I will share more photos later but for now, I hate Monday; I should have taken my leave.
