Day 1: Basking in Brazil

Ah, what a lovely day out. I slowly seep down the Hevea Brasiliensis tree, "aka the rubber tree," into a small pot. I take my time as I flow down the tree and drip into the bucket, waiting to be collected. Finally, a small Brazilian native collects me and I am combined with other rubbers just like myself! We are stored together in a large dark container over night. It is nice to be combined with other tree's rubber, since we are all the same. We bonded very well together. The next morning we get moved around and boarded onto a ship. It was my first time on water and I moved back and fourth a lot, I hoped I would not get sea sick. When I arrived in a musty factory I was roughly dropped into a machine. I got a glance of my surroundings and realized that I had been shipped to India! Aman perjalanan!
