Cindy: Agreed. Sualwesi is just a fascinating place that needs more than a few visits. Thanks so much for your comment. I would have loved to see the Yaki closer up. Their faces seem to be the most fascinating, though you could argue the red butt is more eye-catching. Har har~

Shane: Agreed. I definitely plan on seeing them again, maybe in the Philippines the next time around.

Dave: True! I didn't suffer from any mosquito bites (though that may be due to dousing my skin with repellent), ran into no spider webs (though Eto wrapped up and destroyed a couple with his branch), and no large red ants. However, there were some bizarre red insects that looked like they were in red cocoons and lined the side of a tree. My picture of it was far too blurry and I had no further notes written in my notebook, so I left it unshared. There were also the crickets, however, Eto brought them, so I don't think they count. Maybe the tarsiers ate all the rest?! ;]

Ahhh~ those are probably the Humboldt squids you are talking about. Now they are terrifying and I don't ever want to run into those swarms. Their speed and fast spreading populations are very scary, though. The good news is that they tend to be deep water creatures that only come up in specific regions when the evening draws near. The ones I saw, I believe, were just regular old squids. :)

Squids
I have a little trouble relating to your feelings about charming school of squid, since swarms of the creatures have virtually eliminated all other life in the Sea of Cortez. I watched a documentary about searching for a giant squid. Part of the procedure involved using a smaller squid as bait, since they are cannibals. I was surprised at how voracious they were. Even the human divers had to be careful. Love your pictures though.

The more tarsiers the better!
Thank you so much for posting these photos, my appetite for images of tarsiers is never satiated as they are one of my favourite animals in the world.

I can only hope to go on another underwater journey sooner rather than later, so I can share more! If you like this one, you should check out Xeaman. I just spotted her underwater photos today and was blown away. Such great bloggers out there.

Shane: Thanks for the comment! This was a new camera I splurged on in Singapore Airport in October 2010. Alas, I never found a remedy for the leaky housing, so I haven't taken any more underwater photos since this trip. I hope I can justify another splurge down the line because I'd love to sharpen my underwater photos.

Great photographs!
Have you invested in a new camera by any chance - you've previously mentioned your desire to purchase one. There are some really good photographs here - I particularly like the black, white and pink lobster.

Re: turquoise triggerfish
Those seem like mean fish! ''I'm pretty calm around sharks...'' And, those dont exactly look friendly either. I think, it is something to do with the eyes. One of the kids at Lydias school has eyes like that, and he scares the hell out of me, even though he never says anything.

Another reason to head to the U.S one day
I'm glad you're describing your time there as a holiday! (What happened to work, I didn't know English teachers in Korea could save that much!). As to next year I know we'll say hello sometime, I'm happy to here though that the relationship is working out well! Keep those travel blogs updated with lots of blogs and good luck with the move, whereever that is :D ! Brett

I'm not sure if I replied to your comment before, but thanks for dropping a message. I'm glad you enjoyed and, no worries, the rest of the trip worked out great and I ended up living in Malaysia for a while. Go figure! Looking forward to more of your blogs.

Mell,
We're planning on visiting my family in the States, but where we'll "settle" or "move" isn't set in concrete. I'll post once the details are set ( . . . or possibly two years after the fact). :)

''... we're talking about moving. ''
Where are you thinking of moving to, anyway?

Hey Brett!
Good to hear from you. It's coming up to two years since this trip. Obviously, I'm quite behind on my blogs. If you have any questions about KL, feel free to ask. There's a high chance that we probably won't be here next year because we're talking about moving. When are we going to meet up again?! I hope you're getting a good handle on the local dialect because I think we should go to an authentic Chinese restaurant the next time we do meet up. :)
