On the doorstep of wild Borneo - September 21, 2007

After weeks of anticipation, I've left the confines of mainland Malaysia and have landed in Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Malaysia's eastern-most state on the island of Borneo. My Malaysian friend assures me that Borneo will be a vastly different and a more rewarding experience than the peninsula. I believe her, but right now, I'm surrounded by a bustling, noisy city that doesn't seem that different from any other Malaysian city.

However, the weeks ahead look promising - visiting the largest orangutan rehabilitation centre in the world, heading out on a three day journey on the Kinabatangan River to look for bearded pigs, crocs and elephants, killing myself on a two day hike up Mount Kinabalu.... I will keep you posted!
