This is how rubber comes from a tree....can you see the little black cup down the bottom and the white stuff is of course the rubber, we drove through forrests with these trees all draining rubber.
Now this was so interesting, I can remember the old ringers that you would wring your cloths through, well this was the same as that except that white stuff is all rubber....the man with the tag was our guide quite a character and very informative.
We saw rubber plantations in Vietnam with the same cups collecting the rubber, and ladies on bikes with the collected rubber in baskets on either sides of the rear wheels as they took it away xxx
