Hanoi, Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island
We hiked up a trail in a place called "Monkey Island" and didn't see any monkeys at all. At the very top, the trail stopped and at the end was this guy sitting there, not doing anything at all except catching flies out of the air and eating them. He wasn't chained up or anything, he was just chilling out as the guardian of the mountain. It was one of the most surreal things i've seen.
Different monkey. Approximately half a second after I took this (left the flash on and startled him) he bared his teeth and lunged at me. Terrifying.
This is inside a hidden cave in a mountain. It's called "Hospital Cave" because the Viet Cong used it as a medical facility during the Vietnam/American War. Pretty sweet.
Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
