Travel to Borneo (Sarawak and Sabah) – Episode 222

Darrell Hickman

Hey Chris great podcast as usual. The number 1 thing I got out of this was I just attended an adventure travel show in DC and I was asking what was in Malaysia besides the “twin towers” and one of the thing the lady told me that they had a chimp rehab center. And like you I was thinking of monkeys needing a 12 step program.

Chris & Betty,

I learned by watch the Travel Channel that you can watch the bats come out to feed at sunset in Austin, without a cave. I couldn’t find it on the Travel Channel website, but a search on ask.com lead me to about.com

Thanks for covering both the upside and downside of spontaneity when traveling.

Actually “Borneo” refers to the whole island, which includes not just Sarawak and Sabah but Brunei (an independent country) and Kalimantan (the Indonesian part)

Right. This show is tagged with Malaysia but I see that may not be obvious in my current wordpress theme.

Oh, right.

Nah I was referring to what your guest said on the show, that Borneo was composed of Sarawak and Sabah

Rejeki

As said above Borneo is more then just Sabah and Sarwak, a lot to axplore at the Indonesian Kalimantan side which is 2/3 of the Borneo Island and a less visited corner of Borneo.
