Adidas Kampung?

My first trip with work was to evaluate a potential eco campsite in the jungle. The area is about an hour away from Kota Kinabalu the drive was beautiful as it wound through the countryside of Sabah with occasional views of Mt. Kinabalu.
The homestay had  beautiful views of the jungle and the gorgeous houses nestled in the mountains. There were local children, who were playing some wired game that only involved three sticks and lots of running around. The children were having the best time playing this simple game and it made me think how sad the ipad, x box ect generation that I see growing up back home, kids should be outside!  
Around two in the afternoon the rain started and didn't stop for about 10 hours (it's the wet season!) so there wasn't much to do besides hang around, nap and read. Dinner that night was again local food and I  tried local Sabah deer, so yummy!
 The next morning the group left for the hike and we were joined by two mountain guides/porters. A porter's job is to carry your stuff, a totally foreign concept to me and I felt lazy but you have to remember it's their job and your helping out the village. I would have been lost without their guiding help thank goodness they were there!
The hike started in the jungle and it was beautiful and crazy the trail was pretty much non-existent . The guides walked ahead of the group and cleared the way with machetes (Jamie, Matt and Trina your dream job?). On top of all this the group had to ford the every 10 minutes  the water was pretty rough, so you have to cross as a group and everyone ended up soaked each time.
Overall I thought the trip was a great experience for me and highlights included perfect views of Mt. Kinabalu, the jungle trek and the tasty Sabah deer. The trek was fairly easy but in some parts I found quite technical such as the continuous fording of rivers, muddy up and downhill, slippery rocks and moving boulders.  Everyone slipped and feel down at least once!
Luckily I had the locally made shoes Adidas Kampung shoes they are made out of rubber and have grips on the bottom especially designed for clinging to rocks. These shoes are perfect for hiking in the muddy jungle, fording rivers and blouder, the best bit? They cost less than three dollars!
I got my first leach ! It wasn't scary and I couldn't even feel anything I just looked down and my leg was bleeding. Next time I will defiantly wear leach socks but I still prefer them to ticks and I like to think that it's helping to clean my blood.
Sorry I can't about the lack of detail but a lot is still confidential!
