I wish I brought a botanical or insect guide with me.
Just since I arrived to the school I have seen at least twenty different types of beautiful butterflies and even more spiders. Whenever I walk in the forest there are huge spiders clearly visible from ten meters distance. I always wonder what kind they are and whether they are dangerous. Also there's an amazing variety of flower species on the hill.
A good friend of mine from Singapore once told us that in Israel they have this saying that her friends always tell one another and it translates to English like “You are not living in a movie". Perhaps not in a movie but sometimes I really feel like if I was in one of David Attenborough's documentaries.
