Ben My Buddy
Up Close With Ben
Coupled with a high tide fine weather, I decided to go down to Batang Lupar by boat to meet Ben (short for Benak). Its normal to call friends by their short name after you know them so well. I think after a year in Sri Aman and seeing the Benak or tidal bore I feel we are more like friends now. Usually I ask my staff, what time is Ben coming today and if time permits I will go to the viewing tower and meet up with Ben. Ben came in at about 5:10 p.m yesterday and our boat was just a few metres ahead of it.
