I definitely agree with you Jason. I'm looking forward to visiting again this winter. I've seen orang-utan, largest orchid, Rafflesia and Bornean elephant, and will try for some of the rest.

Cool! Indonesia is a very beautiful country.. Maybe you can go to to Sumatra again to see a Sumatran Tiger, Sumatran Rhino etc.. Or you can go to another island to see Komodo Dragon, Javan Rhino, Bird of Paradise, Orangutan, Tarsier, Largest orchid in the world, Anoa, Raflessia, Borneo Elephant, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauna_of_Indonesia , http://www.indonesianfauna.com/indonesiananimals.php

I have to find you a photo of our local scorpions. That little one is as big as ours get.
