I grew up in a trailer in (then)good ole rural United States. I've been to the Okeefenokee, "land of the trembling earth", a few times. Now I live and teach in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. When I went and hung out with the Orang Asli Semelai, a tribe of folks that live in a swamp in Malaysia, I felt right at home. The similiarities between the backwoods folks in South Georgia and the natives in Tasek Bera was astounding, save skin color, of course.
