  cool! Great experience there again after 8 yrs being there b4. Haa haa.. But must remember to go back b4 the night fall. Cause you can hardly get a boat to bring u home if they cannot find 12 ppl. Fare per person will be $2. must be 12 ppl then the rider will go. If not u will hav to spend 12 ppl fare for the boat to go.

  I don't think they're nasty cause I've interacted with few of them before and they seem nice. I ran out of water cause I spilled and they offered me a bottle of drink FOC. Though in the end I decide to pay them $1 for it.

  i think most of the villagers moved out of ulbin lo.. since they can't keep those chickens.
  
  i luv cycling there since the tracks can be bit bumpy yet not so dangerous... 1 or 2 cars only... it's more convenient to get the bikes from them since you can save th trouble of cleaning your own bike.
  
  most enjoyable part is the coconut drink you get there... make me drool...

  Most of the villager who depends on rearing of poultry as a living have move out. While some move out as the population is getting freaking small !

  They want you to think its diesel
  
  You notice every house got one small hut you cannot enter?
  
  In it is one NSF, cycling to generate electricity.... that's why some ppl's posting is "generator operator"

  Most of the generators that I've seen there are all powered by DIESEL ! I've used such generators before and the noise and fumes generated confirms that it's a DIESEL based generator.
