This sounds like a lot of fun, obmar.
| Quote: | The usual eight-day rafting expedition down Sungai Pahang was reduced to five days but the over 1,000 adults and children were still able to feast their eyes on beautiful scenery as they traversed down the river and enjoyed traditional food and culture when they stopped overnight at selected villages.
Previously, the expedition took off from Sungai Jelai in Lipis, as this place is popularly known as the starting point of Sungai Pahang. But this year, the journey began at Lurah Semantan in Temerloh.
The expedition provided participants with fun and a little drama, especially for one team that lost control of its raft and struck a bridge pillar near Temerloh. They continued their journey on another raft after they were rescued. |
And the pictures there are amazing.

That looks awfully dangerous.

No those are just feelers rather than fangs...

Still looks rather dangerous to me.
I'll ask a few people at work who have fish tanks, although that looks too large for any normal fish tank.
Do you guys have paranha type fish there??
