Batu Niah (Niah Caves)
Location: Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia
Local Time: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - 5:08pm
I caught the bus this morning out to a national park about 2 hours away from Miri. A 3.5km hike through the jungle to the caves.
Big, dark, hot, full of bats.
And birds. Apparently there is quite a business climbing up bamboo poles to harvest the nests of the birds off the cave walls. The nests are then sold, to make soup.

Birds nest soup--my favourite! Could you mail me an envelope full? :)
Make sure it's nice and hot when you ship it, k? Thanks!
