The New Arrival
It is the season of the young ones again on the island so it seems most appropriate to tell our guests of the arrival my long coming baby boy and the youngest member of JungleWallas. We have named him Amiri which means The East Wind, appropriate because he arrived during the season of the east wind on Langkawi.
