Welcome to my blog, I have set it up to inform my friends and family (and anyone else who stumbles in here) of my daily activities and as a way of sharing new pictures, however at some point it got away from me. Now it is more of a tourists guide to some interesting places in Borneo as well as some background information on the Island.
If you would like to visit any of the places mention on the web page and need a guide do let me know.
hello, i’ll be doing a documentary on Bungai terung tattoo. so i would like to ask for your help, because you write pretty well about Iban’s tattoo. where should i go best to dig in more about the meaning of tattoos…because i would like to see more of the Bungai terung tattoo..
Probably the best person to talk to is Ernesto Kalum, he is an Iban tattoo artist who has been doing it for a while and has done some research into the tradition of the art you can contact him through his web page: http://www.borneoheadhunter.com
PS: though I have to say doing an entire documentary on one tattoo design may be excessive
Hi. I was reading yr entry on your trip to Lubok Antu. May I ask whether you drove there from Kuching and is that the only way to get there? Also, would you know anything about a place called Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary and how to get there? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time
Hi, yes I drove from Kuching, its not a very long drive and there is no way to get lost as there is only one road most of the way
It takes about 3 hours to get there. You can also take a bus to the town so there are other options. I do not know too much about Lanjak Entimau though, it is a very large (200 000 hectares) wildlife sanctuary, I am not sure if it is accesible to visitors and I am not sure where the HQ for it is. Some of the information should be fairly easily available on the internet, if not you will have to contact the Sarawak Forrestry dept.
