I had a very close encounter with a monkey. Since my hostel is built on what used to be a jungle, the monkeys have come out of their homes to find easy food. Garbage is plentiful here and the supply is perennial. They can be seen having a feast around the rubbish dumping area and making a terrible mess with the help of the stray dogs. Some of our simian friends have been as brave as to scout around the hostel buildings and steal food from the unsuspecting rooms with open windows.
This has been happening for a long time but it has not disturbed me much. However, yesterday, I had a very close call with one necessitating this entry. It was in the evening, when I had just returned to my room and opened the window panes, but leaving the blinds closed. As I was doing some light reading, there was a shadow at the window. I thought it was a cat. I shouted at it and it jumped off the window sill onto a nearby tree branch. Imagine my surprise to see a monkey, looking back at me preparing to jump onto the window. I immediately closed the window and called my roommate to come and see the little fellow. Suddenly the monkey leaped onto the window sill which made both of us scream very loudly, hehe. Thank god it was closed. I nearly had a heart attack. Good thing my heart is still in good condition.
So now, I dare not open my window panes any more. I don’t want any hairy thieves rummaging in my room. It’s messy enough as it is.
