Interesting account of jungle travel. I didn't like the "I learned to let go of my Western rationalism and accept their supernatural beliefs as true" thing at all, though. If he wants to believe that there are dragons living in some valley and that oddly shaped rocks give you luck, well, it casts a little doubt on the credibility of the other parts of the book as well. I somehow had the feeling that he was censoring some events, which is quite understandable, but still annoying.
