Title – No way to harvest coconuts
Date – August 1994
Location - Pulau Tioman (Island) - Malaysia
Evolution is a magnificent entity, it got us to where we are today and we have evolved so far as to actually understand how we got here in the first place. Yet it seems that we still have a little voice in our heads that tells us that our rational brain is not always in charge.
We know that coconuts need to be cut from the palm and that throwing husks of old coconuts at those still hanging is a waste of time, yet we persist in trying. Evolution taught individuals in countries where the coconut is still the most valuable and versatile of crops to climb the trees, with as little effort as we in the UK climb a ladder. So let the locals do the collecting. The saving to your pride will be well worth the meagre sum they will ask for, by way of payment for their services.
Beyond The Blue run workshops for individuals undertaking independent travel. We want those attending our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop not to waste time once they arrive in a new country learning the hard way, when in just 2 days, we will provide you with enough information to avoid most of the pitfalls… don’t climb the coconut tree when you can avoid the risk and buy one for next to nothing and don’t travel and deal with the problems ‘out of the blue’ when we can help you see ‘Beyond The Blue’
