Hello from Borneo!
We’re in Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia’s Sabah state. It’s on the northern tip of Borneo. And wow, what an adventure it’s been!
Before we get to that, here’s this week’s question: What’s the most remote place you’ve ever visited? Borneo is definitely a contender, but we’ve also been to the Antarctic, and that’s pretty remote.
This is the Mari Mari Cultural Village, which features five different indigenous tribes. These guys love to have fun, and we felt like we were at a party. They showed us how they make rice wine, shoot blowdarts and dance. Like I said, it was a party. We’ll have more in the podcast.
The long-tailed macaque didn’t seem to mind our presence. They are not shy, whereas the Proboscis monkey definitely noticed our presence. We’ll tell you what they did in the podcast.
Being here in the rainforest of Borneo made Aren feel like he was on assignment for National Geographic. I worked for National Geographic for 16 years, and I can tell you it was nothing like this. Our experience was more of a celebration of food, culture and exotic animals that you normally see in a zoo.
Speaking of food, we have a segment on Malaysian food that you won’t want to miss. We’re grateful to our friends at Amazing Borneo for helping create our itinerary for this part of Malaysia.
Don’t forget this week’s question: What’s the most remote place you’ve ever visited? We’ll read your comments in the next podcast.
