Natural rubber is extracted from the sap of rubber trees. When we first saw a rubber tree forest, we immediately recognized it, thanks to the pictures we'd seen in story-books and on TV. But it's not the shape of the leaves... They make incisions on the bark of the trees and stick a bucket below. You cannot miss it.
We picked a small piece of the sap collected in the buckets: It's thick, yellowish, and really elastic. My brother, István said that its smell reminded him the scent of a recently opened pack of balloons. Yep, it smells like that.
