Ancient human remains from Sulawesi suggest people were habitually using the psychoactive betel nut as far back as 25,000 years ago. Researchers found unusual tooth wear and traces of arecoline, the nut's mind-altering compound, in the teeth of prehistoric hunter-gatherers.

Last day in the Maldives is a good time to try local betel nut! 🌴
Betel nut chewing is an ancient tradition, where sliced betel nuts are carefully wrapped in green leaves & paired with a pinch of spice. This stimulating & flavorful experience is often shared with friends & family, fostering social bonds & community. 😊
But be cautious, as its addictive properties have earned it a reputation. 😊

My expectations about people’s behaviour at the local Donutes are usually pretty low, but today – in addition to people smoking directly outside where they shouldn’t be – there is someone chewing betel nut *inside* the café.

Le soir, demandant à des locaux un endroit où camper, on me redirige vers les rangers. Ceux-ci m’offrent le thé, des gâteaux et du Supari (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areca_nut_production_in_India), graine de palmier consommé dans toute l’Inde et abondante ici. A l’arrivée de Moritz, ils nous indiquent où rester et nous offrent une chambre. On passe devant leurs saisies de véhicules embarquant des arbres coupés illégalement, une pratique malheureusement répandue.
