Hm. Not sure how much to read into that. Maybe there's a big stunting problem here. Foods here don't seem to be nutritious.

OCC: hah! Using the english names for these people would clear up a lot... but its always interesting to see traveler's reactions when they don't know the language. Puts a little ambiguity into naming and "ethnicity vs species vs race"

Literally? I can give it a shot. Unless he meant it as a metaphor for panhandling. Then I'm probably awful at it. I'll try to communicate that.

[quote]What exactly do you mean by "passes"? Are we in the rough tunnel now?
I'll point it out along the way.

Are we at a wall or something? Or the entrance to a tunnel?

The wooden tunnel doesn't end at the platform: it continues on in both directions. The platform has vegetation tunnel you can access on it, which goes in an downward direction compared to the wooden tunnel, but is mostly parallel, if a bit lower. Here is a rough diagram if it helps.
