I am currently in Malaysian Borneo and having an absolute blast ive extended the trip an extra month.
By myself for a little, with a group for a little.
Have climbed Mount Kinabalu (the little fucker) and the pinnicles (big fucker) and dont plan on putting myself through such hell again, though the experience was more than worth it, how many people can say they watched the sunrise from the summit of south east asias tallest mountain?
didnt think so
Have visited sepilok to see the orang utans, sooo cute, and stayed in many villages with local families.
The houses here are simple wooden shacks, they dont earn much so they build and grow most things theirself. Im lucky if i get a sit up toilet or running water for that fact, showering is done out of a bucket of cold water and a scoop.
Ive slept out in the Borneo Jungle, leeches, spiders, wild boars, monkeys, alligators, you name it, it was an experience ill remember forever.
Have been drunk on rice wine with the malay people and stayed in a longhouse.
Ive vistited numerous mosques and tried my hand at fasting with the muslims for ramandam.
Ive realeased baby turtles back into the ocean with a conservation group and played with local children.
I am hoping to stop by in Brunei for a few days on my way home.
Mum and i are going to Egypt in march.
