Wow that`s awesome, still not sure why anyone would want to live in the amazon though, anything i`ve ever seen from there is in some way extremely deadly/ could hurt a lot... although some aspect are quite beautiful.

If you tried to walk on those leaves you would just fall right into the water....next thing you know you`re being picked apart by Piranhas. It`s the Amazon remember? =D
