I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

This is the Kinabalu Park, the starting point to climb the mount Kinabalu, this place is called Timpohom lodge. And surprisingly a lot of squirrels running around asking for food. They are all over the trees... They are so cute then we feed then crackers, they use their two tiny hands holding the food, and stuff into their tiny mouth. And are not afraid of human at all :O The Borneo Explorer Wilson Chin (me)

On the way to Mt.Kinabalu park and Poring Hot Spring, a brief stop at Nabalu is recommended. It is located about 90 minutes drive from Kota kinabalu. They sell all kinds of souvenir here, you will notice it right in from of the entrance to the village. One of the waterfall at mount Kinabalu... The Borneo Explorer, Wilson Chin (me) and the Kinabalu mount at the back.

On our way to Kinabalu Park, we passed by the Tuaran town. Tuaran is a town as well as a district located in West Coast Division, in the northwest of Sabah, East Malaysia on the island of Borneo. The famous dishes here will be the tuaran noodles. They just put simple barbecue pork, and fried egg, but it taste really good.

My destination is to drive to Kota Kinabalu, but we need to transit at the Lawas town. Its still early in the morning, and we stop at the Lawas town to have breakfast. Lawas is a small town and the capital of the Lawas District in Limbang Division of northern Sarawak, eastern Malaysia on the island of Borneo. The Borneo explorer, Wilson Chin (Me) at the Lawas town. These are a few Chinese temple along the way, and we visited one of the temple. At the main entrance there is a few statue from the story "Journey to the west" The Master Monk, the Monkey King, The Pig, and the River Monk. I was born in the year of the Monkey ;) continue our journey to the East of Borneo...

My brother and I was driving from Miri to Limbang, and we have to transit to the Brunei country. Then I just took at opportunity to visit some of the place I stayed when I was very little around 25 years ago. We are at the immigration office getting our passport stamp to go into Brunei. And we have reached Brunei Darussalam :D Kianggeh open market A traditional market located on the banks of Kianggeh River, the residents of Kampong Ayer travel to and fro from BSB (Bandar Seri Begawan). I stayed here when I was little, and after 30 years I can still see the people paddling their sampan to the market to sell their stuff.

Fresh catch of the day from the local waters are found here..... fish, crabs, prawns, squid and shellfish. Local traditional handicrafts like tudung dulang (a decorative food cover), parang (a knife similar to a machete), hand-wov...

Mancar Sebako Village, it’s a village which belongs to the Bidayuh Sebako people, a local native group in Sarawak. Located at Lundu/Sematan. The unique about this place it’s the wonder creation of nature, the multiple tier of waterfall hiding deep inside the jungle. A water hydro station was build next to the village, however I’m not sure if the village are using the power generate by the station.
