HMMMMMM. The Mount Lavina Hotel (and beach) in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) had the most gorgeous beach tucked right up against this -we called it a jungle -with tigers, elephants, and reptiles. Featured in the movie -the Bridge on the River Qui(sp?) I suspect there are many more places in the Indian Ocean like that. Maybe global warming has changed all that with all those SUVs tearing up the rain forests of the world! “According to my sister, this is the only place in the world where the rainforest goes all the way to the beach and ocean.”

You weren't supposed to call a rain forest a jungle. Now you're supposed to call a jungle a rain forest.

Environmentalists figured out that people would not donate money to save jungles, so they renamed them. Jason Colorado Springs I am old enough to remember when Rain Forests were called Jungles.
