We spent a night at an Environmental Education Centre out in the countryside - it had cute little bungalows with bathrooms that had only three walls and one side open out onto the surroundings! They had gardens of organic vegetables and medicinal herbs as well as a few animals.

We went for a walk around the area, through rice paddies and across streams - it was very pretty. The centre runs a program of helping local farmers to produce organic crops and the restaurant there provided us with great meals of organic food. They also made us a herbal 'potion' from some sort of tree bark mixed with cloves, cardamon, cinnamon, pepper and some other spices - it tasted good and was supposed to boost energy levels though it didn't seem to have that effect on any of us!

We also watched a video about an orangutan rehabilitation project in Sumatra run by the same organisation (the orangutans are SO adorable!).
