UPDATE

---

Just a quick update, this isn’t a proper blog post. I wasn’t sure whether to post about this or not, but I think it’s better that I do because it’s a fairly important thing. To cut to the chase, last night at Jerantut I had my wallet nicked. I don’t know exactly what happened, but between paying for food from my wallet and sitting at a table, the wallet was gone and it was not anywhere around and none of the people/staff around knew anything or had seen anything. The circumstances are not really the point anyway. So last night, once I was sure that my wallet had definitely been taken, I did all of the annoying and time consuming things like making a police report, calling the insurance, contacting banks, etc.



I didn’t lose very much cash because it was just my day-to-day cash (which it looks like the insurance will replace anyway) and I should have enough cash to last me while at Taman Negara but more problematic are the lost bank cards so I will have to get money from Western Union to last the rest of the trip until I get new ones.

Yesterday was a travel day from Bukit Fraser to Jerantut after morning birding at Bukit Fraser and I am now at Kuala Tahan (Taman Negara). I will write a blog post for yesterday, but obviously last night I was busy sorting things and today I’m going to go into Taman Negara.

I wasn’t sure whether I should write this at all, but it would just be annoying to continue with this blog and pretend it didn’t happen and it’s a part of the adventure I guess although it’s not very easy to think about it like that yet. Everything will be fine though, it’s just an inconvenience
