Think luscious tropical rainforests, dense leaf covered jungle floors and orangutans. This was my impression of Borneo as I was planning to visit this foreign wilderness. I expected shanty cafes and open air bungalows for sleeping. How wrong I was. Borneo is actually thriving with urban cities, street art, delectable food and merchants who will sell you just about anything. The land is prosperous due to the millions of palm oil trees the Malays have planted. Nevertheless, Borneo still has some of the most impenetrable jungle on earth, not to mention the only other place in the world where wild rhino's roam. It is also the home to Pulau Sipidan, the best diving spot in the world, restricted to only 120 people daily. Turtles and reef sharks galore, the enchanted underwater world is truly magical. Borneo is truly a beautiful paradise, an oasis like no other. Teeming with offspring of mothernature, the monkey's are devoted to caring for their young, striving for the ulimate goal -survival. The land is alive with culture, wilderness and the unknown.
