I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

I went to visit the Japanese grave at Batu Lintang, Kuching. This is the place when the Japanese surrender, after the Americans drop two atomic bombs at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Notice bellow the monument, there is a plate with both Japanese and English writing on it. And this is what it wrote on the plate. The origin of the monument, During the second world war when every able bodied man has enlisted in the Japanese war efforts a group of young boys fireherman aged 15 - 16 volunteered their service to help the country by ferrying food supply to Japanese trools of the Southern fronts. These courageous boys were from the fishing port of Yaizu which was famous in Japan for its plentiful supply for bonito and tuna fishes. In their tiny 50 tonnes worn out fishing boats the boys began ferrying food supply to the southern battlefronts. Torward the end of the war, then massive counter attacks by the Americans and the British had cause heavy defeats of the Japanese army, the young Y...

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 bough a beginner entry folding bike, because I plan to go cycling when I am not on my hiking trip. My bike is a 20" bike with 6 speed, shimano gear. My first trip is to the Batu Kawa old town, cycle to the old town, and roam around that area. Sunny day, and not much car on the road. The Rantau Panjang, a nice ride on the old Batu Kawa town. A long and nice country road into the unknown. The Penrissen 4th mile area. I only realize that there are a lot of open space in this area. Saw a car parked on the very end of the road there, but when I ride pass there, no one in the car. Wonder where is the driver go... A shortcut I discover in the Jalan Kong Ping road area, I found a big dead monitor lizard on the road. A serious injured on the head, so I use a stick to carry that dead lizard, and put aside on the road. Hope that no car will trip over it. After a long bicycle trip, its time to go home, so tired.

This morning I'm going for a mini expedition. Location is on the rural Bau-Singai area. To go there, you will need to take the turn from Batu Kawa to Matang road. I did map this trip on google earth, but unfortunately google did not update this map, it was since 2008. And from google earth, this area was covered by clouds. 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...

Kuala Belait is a town located in South-West of Brunei. It is the second largest town in the country, after Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and functions as the administrative city for the Belait District. When you see this big tea pot in the round about, you know your in the Belait district already. One of the branch for Excapade sushi situated at Kuala Belait, from Miri to here is just 2 hours car drive. Before you come to this place, it will be advisable that you called and make a reservation first. A total of Brunei $48.00. Is cheap, and the food are fresh. We all like it, except mum she don't likes to eat raw fish.

I went to visit my friends from Vietnam, they are staying in the Riverbank Suits. And it gave me chances to be able to visit that building, I went to the 16th floor where the swimming pool is, and am able to take a panoramic picture of the Kuching City, and Sarawak River.

Do you know how does it feels to be inside the waterfall, or dive under water. Click on the play button on my video to watch how it is look like. From the looks of the crack line, can tell that this tree just fell down not long ago. It a pity to saw this big tree like this, imagine how many years does it take for it to grow that huge and tall, and how many oxygen that it can produce for the people here. Must educate our friends to cherish and protect our forest. Notice anything special in this picture? yeah, I know you saw the good looking Borneo explore Wilson Chin, but there is also something else there, keep looking...  When you see this type of fungus in the forest, please be extremely careful, and do not, I repeat, do not put your hand into its mouth, or else.....  The water are very refreshing, and when bath there, I can feel my skin getting fairer and softer. You should come and try it next time.

I'm in front of Song Kheng Hai food center, and as a local Kuching people we will know that everyday there will be two to three parking lot are occupied not by car, but by dry noodles. This shop owner will always dry its noodles at the parking lot here except raining day. Last time there is use to be a very old classic green color car parked here, but not sure where did it go already. The owner has been drying the noodles here for very long time arleady, so before I can no longer see this better took a picture to save as memory. Picture I took back in 2006 Wonder where is this car now???
