I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

I follow my friend to Samarahan division, to a small town called Bunleong. Translate to Chinese is call “Wen Long” kiss of dragon :) that’s a nice name. To drive to Bunleong, it took us almost one hour car drive. Well, we didn’t purposely go there. My friend Chiew (the driver), need to buy yam to bake yam cake. So he knows a Malay friend who plants many yams, and is few times cheaper. He told me that there’s a newly build Chinese God temple, to get there we need to use boat. Along the way to Bunleong, there is not much to see but only small village houses, pineapple field, paddy field, and trees. After we reach the jetty, we park our car and board the boat. Is RM0.50 per person to cross the river, what interesting is the boat also carry motorcycle to Bunleong town. And there is no bridge to go to Bunleong, this boat is the only transportation that connect Samarahan divison, and Bunleong town. It takes about 10 minutes to cross the river.

My trip to Langkawi was great, but is a bit rush. I went there with a bunch of my friends, together there are over 10 of us. We’ve stay there for two days one night; I was at Penang that time.

Is a THREE hours boat ride. I don’t take heavy meal that morning, cause I know I might get sea sick. The weather is great, morning breeze blowing gently on my face. This will be a wonderful trip for sure. The boat leave Penang port right on time, we all sat nicely inside the boat. The current was strong, and it made the boat shake tremendously. After an hour sitting inside the boat, I went up to the deck to get some fresh air. Then my friends follow, some of them are starting to get sea sick. We didn’t know that it would be this shaky, so we didn’t prepare any medicine for sea sick. But at the deck is much better than stay...
