Angkor Monkey Business
17 February 2011
How do I know this is the true land of Kipling? Because monkeys rule
the forest . They view humans as something of a nuissance. And a
source of food and water. One such charismatic character has
unambiguously walked up to me, tapped on my leg and pointed at my 1.5
liter water bottle. It had bigger teeth. I gave it the bottle. Law of
the Jungle. Then it proceeded to drinking the whole thing - at first,
quite awkwardly from the ground, and then - biped-style chugging. It
was completely unphased by me photographing the process, though, by
the end [of the water], it did climb the nearest tree with the bottle
and continued chugging there. I figured, that was well worth my 50 c.
