0900 IIYURE Ihlathi layo phaya, sana. Kwaye ndithetha eyona nto iyiyo: imidiliya, iinkawu, iintaka eziqhwethayo, ukugxeka abagxeki. I & apos; ndihleli kwindlwana yeQuonset kwindawo eyayisakuba likhulu lezomkhosi laseMelika eAsia, eSubic Bay kwiiPhilippines, imizuzu engama-40 ngomoya ovela eManila. Ngexesha leMfazwe yaseVietnam, abakhonzi beza apha, kwiNkqubo yoQeqesho lokuSinda kweJungle (JEST), ukuze bafunde indlela yokugcina ulusu lwabo ukuba bakhe badutyulwa kumhlaba wotshaba. Abafundisi-ntsapho babo babengamalungu eAeta, uhlanga lomthonyama oluye lwenza ihlathi elingqongileyo ukuba libe likhaya lalo kwakudala.

Yaphela ke imfazwe. Kwaye ngo-1992, emva kweminyaka yokuxabana norhulumente wasePhilippines, umkhosi wase-US ekugqibeleni wakhupha kuzo zonke iziseko zawo. Okudibanisa ukulahleka kwale mimandla ibingumqeshi omkhulu, luthuthu oluvela kwintaba-mlilo iMount Pinatubo lwaluyigubungele yonke le ndawo, luvala izitalato kwaye ludilika uphahla. Isikolo se-jungle sasixinekile: Ungaziphilisa njani xa umqeshi ekuphela komntu oshiye idolophu? Ukujolisa kwintengiso yabakhenkethi kubonakala ngathi, ekuqaleni, yayiyimpendulo engalindelekanga. Ngubani & apos; d ohlawula ukuhamba kwihlathi elinemvula elixineneyo ukuzonwabisa? Kodwa ke, njengethamsanqa elinalo, i-eco-adventure craze hit. Kungenxa yeso sizathu ndilapha: ngamava eeyure ezingama-24 ngamava oMntu wangempela ngolwesiHlanu, ndifunda ukuba kunye nehlathi.

0945 IIYURE Ngelixa ndilinde ukuba isikhokelo sam sifike, ibhasi yabakhenkethi itsalela kwindawo yokupaka kunye namakhulu aliqela abafundi bezikolo zamabanga aphakamileyo bakwiiPhilippines. Nangona iJEST inika usuku olunye ukuya kwiiveki ezimbini zokungena ehlathini, uninzi lwabathengi ngamaxesha amafutshane njengaba bantwana: beza iiyure ezimbalwa, bathathe uhambo, bamamele ispili, bagoduke. Ngenxa yabo isikolo esisehlathini songeze ezinye izinto ezingezizo ezomkhosi, ezinje ngevenkile evulekileyo yezipho ethengisa amatyathanga abalulekileyo, iminqwazi ephothiweyo, kunye neetreyila ezenziwe ngomthi ezikrolwe ngendlela yenyathi. Ndiqala ukuziva ngathi nguMartin Sheen Apocalypse Ngoku , apho ayaphambana khona elinde ukuya ngentla komlambo.

IYURE ezili-1000 Isikhokelo sam sibonisa, sijonge ukulala kancinci. UJulio Benito uneminyaka engama-35 kwaye wakhiwe njengesixhobo somlilo somnquma. Yintoni ebendiyilindele, isidalwa esithambileyo sehlathi esinesiketi sengca kunye nethambo ngeempumlo? . . yohlobo lwe. Ewe, ungaze ucinge.

Siqala ngotyelelo lwekheji zezilwanyana, apho iindwendwe zinokujonga kakuhle izidalwa zasehlathini ezihlala zifihlwe phantsi kwengca. Kukho ii-apio ezintathu zehagu ezisencinci, i-python engama-26 eenyawo, kunye ne-civet ekhangeleka ngathi ikwabelwana ngekheyi kunye nokhozi lolwandle olunamabele amhlophe- 'sisilwanyana esisengozini yokuphela,' u-Julio uyaziqhayisa. Kwicala elilandelayo kukho icilikishe elineemitha ezintathu ubude nelivumba njengengxowa yam yokuzivocavoca emva kokuba ndilibale ukuyivula kangangeeveki ezimbini. 'Unambitha njengenkukhu, utshilo uJulio. 'Uninzi lwabantu bakwiiPhilippines, zezona bazithandayo.'

IIYURE ezili-1015 Chitchat eyaneleyo; lixesha lezinto zokwenyani. UJulio ukhokela indlela ezantsi kwindlela ethe tyaba ehlathini. Qho ngemizuzu embalwa uyema ukuze akhethe uhlobo olutsha lwegqabi phantsi kwetyholo. Kukho iaviniga isityalo , amagqabi awo aboleka iingoma ezimnandi zokupheka ehlathini; isityalo se-iodine, esincindi sayo sinokunceda ekunyangeni ukusikwa kunye nokutsha; kunye nomthi wekofu. 'Mhlobo wam,' utshilo uJulio, ngoncumo lomdlali onentengiso, 'lo ngumthi wekofu. Usasazekile emhlabeni uya kufumana imidumba emnyama. Ngaphakathi kwimidumba uya kufumana iimbotyi. Zoyise ngomlilo, emva koko zibilise kwisitya soqalo, kwaye inencasa efana nekofu. Sikwanaso nesinye isityalo esincasa njengeti! ' Inomdla. Ihlathi liyinyani ye-7-Eleven of goodies. Kodwa ngaba yile nto ndizele yona? Ndicinga ukuba & amp; d ndibambelele ngendoda kumda wokusinda, ndingafundi ukubetha i-impromptu latte.

IIYURE ezili-1040 Emva kwesiqingatha seyure ehlathini, I & apos; m ndidiniwe. It & apos; s malunga nama-95 degrees, kwaye ukufuma kufakwe i-flat-lined kwi-99 yepesenti. Ihempe yam imanzi ngumbilo, kwaye mna & apos; simalunga nokukhupha ibhotile engonelanga yokufumana amanzi okusela endiwebileyo ehotele yam. Amanqanaba endlela asuka kwindawo yoqalo ngasemlanjeni oxubeneyo. UJulio uya kuphazamiseka, ejonge ukuma kwe-bamboo enobubanzi obuyi-intshi ezintathu. Ngemibala embalwa emnyama yentsimbi yebhola-uhlobo olufutshane kodwa olomeleleyo lwe-machete-uyazikhulula kubude obuziimitha ezintlanu. Ezi uzirhuqela kwindawo ethe tyaba ezinyaweni ezimbalwa, kwaye iziqwenga ziqala ukubhabha. Sika apha, usike apho, kunye ne-voilà: ikomityi yokusela. Whack, whack: icephe. Ifolokhwe. Isitya. Umpheki werayisi. Ukonwaba kwakhe ngokucacileyo kukundikhumbuza ngesilumko esigqwetha ibhaluni kwiqela labantwana.

1045 IIYURE UJulio uxubusha umbongo ngabantu bakhe & apos; ubuchule bokuphila ehlathini. 'Mhlobo wam,' undixelela-andiqali ukucinga ukuba ulilibale igama lam- 'Sihlobo sam, ndingaphuma apha ndihlale inyanga enye, nokuba ngunyaka, ndingenanto. Ngaba uyazi ukuba kutheni? Ngenxa yolwazi. Ukuba bendingenalo ulwazi, ngendingasindi nangemini enye. Kodwa ngolwazi kuphela, ndingaphila kamnandi apha. '

'Uthini ngemela yakho?' Ndiyabuza.

'Ewe. Ulwazi nemela lam. '

Esinye sezizathu zokuba ndikhathazeke kukuba uJulio ubonakala ephatha lonke eli xesha lokusinda ngokudibana. Bendinethemba lomnqamlezo phakathi Ukuhlangulwa kwaye Intliziyo yobumnyama. Into endiyifumanayo yile U-Ernest uya eKampini .

Esinye isizathu sokuba ndikrukruke kukuba ndinxaniwe. Andiphumi emanzini kwaye ndibile njengabaphangi. Akukho zinkxalabo: Ukuba ihlathi linokukhupha ikomityi yekofu, kutheni kufanele ukuba kube yingxaki ukusela amanzi? UJulio uyaduduma aye ehlathini aze abuye ngepali eneenyawo ezine ye-zigzaggy bamboo. Ukhulula ekupheleni kwecandelo kwaye enze isigqibo sokuhamba kwamanzi e-crystalline ukusuka kumngxuma ongasentla kwikomityi yam entsha. Ndiyicofa phantsi ngombulelo. Ndothuswa kukuba inencasa ngokuchanekileyo njengamanzi eebhotile zamaminerali.

IIYURE ezili-1215 Ndicinga ukuba thina & apos; sicime umzila wabakhenkethi ngoku. Kule mizuzu imbalwa idlulileyo siye senyuka indlela ethe tyaba enyusa intaba enehlathi. UJulio, ndiyavuya ukutsho, kubonakala ngathi ndiyigqibile eyakhe patter. Sinyuka ikakhulu sithe cwaka, ukubila kwehla ebusweni bethu. Njengoko sinqumla kummango, kuvakala isandi esingqutyiweyo kwintshinyela engezantsi. UJulio uxela. Ndixolile, asenzi nzame zokuyiguqula ibe sisidlo sasemini.

Iinyawo ezimbalwa ukusuka apho sima kwisityalo asibiza ngokuba yirattan etyiwayo. Ijongeka njengesundu kwigumbi lam lokuhlala, ngaphandle kwezipikisi emazantsi esiqu. Kuphuma imela. Ngexesha nje elifutshane, uJulio wenze whitled a fond-foot-frond in a six-intshi ubude, ipensile-thin segment pith. Ndiyayingcamla: it & apos; ithenda, ikrakra ngaphezu kwentliziyo ye-artichoke kodwa ngokufanayo ithambile kwaye inentambo. Ndonwabile nge-shrub, sigqibe kwelokuba singenzi isidlo esipheleleyo kuyo.

IIYURE ezili-1315 Ngequbuliso isigqubuthelo sehlathi elinomthunzi sivulekela ekucoceni, kwaye kuvakala ngokungathi singene kwincwadana enemifanekiso kwiparadesi yetropiki. Umlambo omnene uhamba phakathi kweebhanki ezijikelezileyo kunye neefern, kunye neebhabhathane ezikhanyayo zijikeleza umthi webhanana. UJulio uthabathe amagqabi eenyawo ezintlanu kwisityalo se-philodendron kwaye asebenzise enye yebhasikithi njengoko eqokelela i-fiddlehead ferns kwibhanki yomjelo ngesidlo sasemini. Usonga elinye igqabi alifake umnqwazi-umnqwazi kaRobinson Crusoe, ulibiza-kwaye endenza ukuba ndilinxibe, endaweni yokuziyolisa kunelam, ndiyacinga.

1330 IIYURE Sifikelela kwinkampu yethu yosuku, indawo enesanti phantsi kwamasebe asasazekayo omthi weti. Itangca elikhanyayo lelanga lisingqongile macala onke. Eyesine yehla nge-20 okanye i-30 yeenyawo ukuya kwisetyhula echibini ngaphezulu kwe-bamboo kwaye yondliwa yimpompo yamanzi. Yimzuzu ngaphambi kokuba ndibone indlela endiziva ngayo: lo ngumbono othe ngqo kwinombolo 'yeNtetho eNoyolo' UMzantsi Pasifiki.

Akukho buhle bokuhlamba kwi-cavort kunye, nangona kunjalo. Endaweni yoko, sizixakekisa ngeyona nto inyanzelisa ngakumbi eyindoda: ukwenza umlilo. Ngokukodwa, ukwenza umlilo ngendlela yakudala enomdla, ngaphandle kwento encinci ngaphandle kweenxalenye zomthi owomileyo. UJusio & apos; s Ukudanisa uMachete uya emsebenzini, kwaye kwimizuzu nje engephi ubambe into enokubeka ihlazo kuyo nayiphi na into kaNjingalwazi kunye noGilligan & apos. Elinye icandelo liphethe i-fleecy wad ye-tinder kwi-fire hole kunye ne-bamboo-leaf spring; omnye uqulethe umkhombe onencakuba ebukhali. Ngamandla amakhulu uzihlikihla zombini ezi zinto de imicu yomsi iqale ukuvutha. Emva koko uthambisa ngakumbi nangakumbi, ukubila kuphuma kuyo yonke ipore, ade aphantse anyamalale emva kwelifu elingwevu. Ngobunono ukhupha i-tinder, uvuthela i-ember ebomvu de yagqabhuka kwilangatye elincinci. Kungekudala umlilo wethu uvutha.

Emva koko, ndiyazama. Imizuzu embalwa ye-whacking enenjongo ivelisa kuphela imfumba yoqalo oluqhekekileyo. Suyinaka. Ndiphinde ndasebenzisa umatshini womlilo kaJulio, iingqiniba zam zohlwaya ngokuqatha iziqwenga zoqalo. Ukuvela komsi kuvela. 'Kunzima! Khawuleza! 'UJulio uyabongoza, ngento endinokuyithemba kuphela kukunyaniseka okungenasiphelo. Iimpawu ezingakumbi zomsi ziyavela. Iingalo zam ziguqula imacaroni. Inkuthazo engakumbi. Ii-wisps ezimbalwa ngakumbi. Ndiyancama.

IIYURE ezili-1430 Ndikhankanyile ukuba i-bamboo yinto enokusetyenziswa okungapheliyo, kodwa linda, zikhona ezinye iiapos. Kwakhona kwenza i-cookware efanelekileyo. UJulio ubamba amaqhekeza amakhulu e-bamboo aluhlaza abe zii-gallon ezimbini zamanzi. Emva kwesiqingatha seyure sifakwe emlilweni eyokuqala iyabila ngokungalawulekiyo, indawo yayo efumileyo iyikhusela kumadangatye. Siyibeke ecaleni ukuze ipholise ukusetyenziswa njengamanzi okusela, kwaye sibeka enye endaweni yayo ukwenza iti yehlathi.

Kwaye ngoku ngenxalenye enkulu yokusinda kwehlathi: ukufumana ukutya. UJulio wehla waya emfuleni ekhangela ukutya okunezondlo ezinambuzelayo. Emva kwexesha elide ubuya nokubamba kwakhe: iprawn enye, unonkala omnye, kunye neenkumba ezimbini. 'Ndibambe isele, kodwa yaphela,' uxela kalusizi.

Inomtsalane njengoJulio & apos; s menagerie is mayibe, ayenzi songezo kwisidlo, nokuba kungasinda ngokulambisa entlango. Kodwa kuba le yikhosi yokwazisa kuphela, sikhohlisa kancinane. Kubhaka wakhe uvelisa ibhegi yerayisi. Ingena kwirayisi yokupheka, kwaye emva kwemini iipleyiti zethu zoqalo zigalelwe ingqolowa ephezulu ephekwe kakuhle ene-fiddlehead-fern stew kunye nesitya esecaleni sezilwanyana ezingenamqolo. Indlala, njengoko besitsho, yeyona sosi ibalaseleyo.

IIYURE ezili-1600 Ngoku sizizalisile izisu zethu, imvakwemini ithe chu ngokunxunguphala phambi kwethu. UJulio, ndiyaqonda, ngomnye wabo bambalwa banethamsanqa umsebenzi wabo ufuna ukwenza iintlobo ezifanayo zezinto anokonwaba kakhulu ukuzenza-ejikeleza ihlathi, ejonge izinto ngommese wakhe, esenza incoko engenamsebenzi. Ngaphandle kokungxama, waqokelela iqonga lokulala (ngaphandle kwe-bamboo), wandifundisa indlela yokubamba umgibe wokubamba iliso, kunye nokuqokelela amagqabi enye iti. Ubonisa indlela yokuluqhekeza iqhekeza lomdiliya elityeni eliya emlanjeni de lide lenze isephu yamasudi, kwaye siyatshintshana ukuhlamba echibini elinengxangxasi.

Ndiyabulela kuThixo nge-jet lag. Ngaphandle kweyure yokuqala, I & apos sele ndilala njengoko ilanga litshona. Kungekudala kuphela ukukhanya komlilo okugcina ubumnyama obugqithisileyo. UJulio uthetha ngoyise, owakhulela kweli hlathi enganxibanga nto ngaphandle kwesinxibo sesizwe. UJulio naye wachitha ixesha elininzi ebuntwaneni bakhe ehlathini, edlala nabahlobo kwaye ezihlalela ngendlela eya kwenza ngayo nayiphi na inkwenkwana. Nokuba sisisu esipheleleyo, ibhafu ehlaziyayo, okanye isiqabu esilula ekubeni ungazange uhlaselwe yinyoka yeenyawo ezingama-26, I & apos; ekugqibeleni siqale ukukhululeka kwaye ndizonwabise. Yeyiphi, ngoku ndiyayiqondayo, yeyona nto. Kwabo kuthi abaliqondayo ihlathi, nokuba incinci kangakanani, ayisiyombuzo wokusinda kwaphela, kodwa yeyokuzonwabisa kwintlango etyebileyo ethi, ngaphandle kwengozi yayo, ibe likhaya kwizizukulwana zabantu.

Ngelixa iibhedi zikaJulio ezantsi emlilweni, mna ndinyuka ndisiya eqongeni loqalo ndondlala ibhegi yam yokulala. Ubumnyama buxhonywe kukukhanya kweempukane. Ngaphezulu, inyanga iphelele ejonge eluphahleni lwamagqabi bamboo. Kwenye indawo phaya ngaphandle kwezinto ezirhubuluzayo ziyangxama malunga, zisenza into yazo. Kwaye kungekudala ndiza kwenza okwam, ndilele kamnandi emoyeni opholileyo wasebusuku.

NGOKUQINISEKILEYO, KWISIQITHI SOKUSINDA ...

Kulabo bafuna amava abo emahlathini athathwe yidosi esempilweni 'yokwenyani,' ungakhangeli ngaphezulu kweMalaysian Borneo. Urhulumente usiguqulile isiqithi sasePulau Tiga, esiboniswe kwi-CBS wunderhit Usindileyo , ukuya kwindawo yayo entsha yeholide. Indawo yokuphumla eneebhedi ezingama-80 apho, ebesele ikwisigaba sokucwangciswa xa isiqithi sikhethwe Usindileyo ii-scouts zendawo, zigcina abasebenzi kunye nabasebenzi benkxaso ngexesha lokufota nge-ntwasahlobo edlulileyo.

Isiqithi uqobo saso sinxitywe ngamanxweme amhlophe kunye namatye aluhlaza, kodwa abaphuhlisi bayasazi esona sizathu sokuba abakhenkethi baseMelika bazokuzimela kule ndawo ikude: bafuna ukudlala Usindileyo . Ndisinde kwiipulau tiga izikipa ezixineneyo ezishelfini kwivenkile yezipho. Nangona amatye eSytrofoam asetyiweyo, ezinye iiprops zisahleli, ezinje ngomfanekiso weB-52 webomber fuselage -ukudibanisa ubunyani, mhlawumbi. Umphathi uBonnie Alberto uceba ukubamba ukhuphiswano lwe-Survivor-style, ukuba iindwendwe ziyakruquka, yithi, ukukhupha iigundane zasendle ngaphandle kweekhabini zazo, ukunqanda iinyoka zaselwandle ezinetyhefu, okanye ukuvota ngokufihlakeleyo apho abanye abakhenkethi bathanda khona ukupeyinta ubuso ngobuso. Banxibe isarong. Ngaba iindwendwe ziya kutya imibungu emikhulu kwaye zisebenzise umngxunya emhlabeni njengendlu yangasese? Iikhabhathi zonke zinamagumbi okuhlambela abucala, kwaye amanye amagumbi ayafakelwa (umoya)! Oh Kulungile. Mhlawumbi baya kubamba Usindileyo iphinda ibuyele kwiTV yesathelayithi. Indawo yokuhlala ePulau Tiga , EPulau Tiga, eSabah, eMalaysia; 60-18 / 989-9779 ; iphindwe kabini kwiidola ezingama-79, kubandakanya zonke izidlo.
