I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

Some of the picture I took during Chinese New Year around Kuching. The fireworks light up the night sky, and I'm so happy that it didn't rain this year, and the firework can display their full potential in the sky. To all my dear readers, Gong Xi Fa Chai, wishing you good health, and good wealth around the year.

I'm now in a forest garden, where its full of fruits, flowers, and the sound of insect. I can hear the water sound, very close by. So I am going to seek for this river. What I manage to found is not just river, but two beautiful waterfall too. The water very cold, and fresh. I saw fishes,and shrimps swimming happily in the water. This reminds me of my trip to Lambir Hill National Park at Miri, where I finish my drinking water, and had to drink the stream water, and there are fishes in the water that time, so my guess its that its save to drink. I also manage to eat durian there, very lucky manage to found one. And the taste extremely tasty. I l...
