Monkey business

摘要

Whenever I dreamt of my first ecounter with wild monkeys the setting would always be somewhere exotic. Amazonian jungles, shadowed by the dense rainforest canopy, with spider monkeys swinging overhead. Above the clouds in Ethiopia's highland plateaus,surrounded by troops of grazing geladas. Snowy alpine landscapes in Japan, watching macaques find respite from freezing temperatures in thermal springs. I wasn't expecting to meet my first non-human primates in a highly urban, densely populated corner of Europe.
