Catching Up

on things that I missed.
As a girl who grew up in a seaside settlement, plus that it's surrounded by lush greeneries
I believe it is a point for for me to have to know things like what is this fish called, the tides and some survival tips in the jungle.
These are some interesting things that the generation before knows them like current generation know how to operate a mobile phone. - This ia just an analogy btw.

Abah told me, if u want to catch or eat crabs, make sure crabs are caught when it is full moon.
This species who doesn't know how to walk straight even with 8 feet plus 2 claws is very fleshy during full moon.

And do you know, when the water is muddy (sea water I mean), itv tells us that the current sweep from the bottom.
Which is dangerous.
Superficial current would be dangerous for swimmer and profundus current (current from the bottom) would posseses hazard to both swimmer and diver alike.

And high or low tide is determined by moon.
From my view, the moon is visible in the morning and we have high tides in the morning taky.

Enough with the sea, yesterday I asked abah about snakes and bamboo.
In here, where it's humid and hot, snakes love to be in the bamboo clumps, simply because it's cool over there.
But bamboo is also the snakes' weakness.
In a more complicated explanation, you have a higher prospect to win over a snake when you beat it with a bamboo compared to when you throw a chunk of heavy wood at it, provided that you hit the target(that yucky,evil snake I mean)

I hope I can learn more about this and that.
They are so interesting.
