The special training for the two Cambodians were completed today.
It was a back breaking adventure. Started on November 18 th and today November 23 was their last day.
For record purposes these were the thing that I covered:
1) A full day presentation on swiftlet farming. After that we have a question and answers.
2) Covered a total of 1,600 kilometers journey from KL - Port Klang - Sungai Rambai - Kuala Selangor - Sekinchan - Sungai Besar - Setiawan - Bukit Mertajam - Padang Serai - Kota Bahru - Tumpat - Kuala Besut - Kuala Krai - Gua Musang - Raub - Bentong - KL.
3) Visited 12 birdhouses and 6 of which we entered for evaluation and inspection.
4) Did 4 bird call tests along the way.
5) Inspect a BH with more then 3,000 nests.
6) Have a look at one BH about to complete in Setiawan.
7) Visited a BH about 80% complete in Kota Bahru.
8) Visited a stand alone BH just started with the footing in BM.
9) Visited a BH that was turned around after not doing well for 9 months in Raub.
10) Visited a very sick BH in Tumpat.
11) Visited a row of Swiftlet ecopark in Kuala Krai.
12) Visited the Ridel Olympic lane in Kota Bahru.
13) Visited the most successful BH in Setiawan, Padang Serai, Besut, Kuala Krai and Bentong.
14) Visited the most colorful BH in Sungai Rambai.
15) Visited a shop house that was ear marked to turn into BH in Grik.
16) Encountered a total number of 9 wild elephants while of Grik-Jeli highway. The leader nearly attacked our car.
17) Met a 12 years old girl, Miss Ying, who is my blog reader.
18) Submitted a 12 pages BH visit report to Mr.L of Tumpat.
19) Visited a BH in Besut of which I was fascinated with it's progress.
20) Spend about 30 minutes at Bentong to look at those birds swooping into my BH.
21) Take a very good look at how "Black Cloud" performed in Setiawan and Besut. At both places BC was over my expectation.
Overall the trip was fantastic but I don't think I wanted to break my back again.
I was lucky not to loose my way both on the way up and back.
It was scary when those elephant nearly attack our car along the Grik highway.
What I am sure off was that both Cambodians were in good shape and they got what they came for.
I showed them nearly everything and I hope they will be doing the same like I did for the sake of swiftlet farming in Cambodia.
Bye Nal and brother. Hope to receive your email about the wonderful four days together.
