One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One day my Dad brought a man home from bus station, he was lost on his journey to find his brother. I found him clueless and desperate. But when he got help and place to shelter, he found his spirit back. Later he met his brother, and got job to settle down. That inspired me so much. A few years later i wanted to travel to city he lives in, try my luck if i really could see him again. But i was run out of budget on my way, and some nice people helped me change direction. Where i had the most amazing travel experience at Derawan Island, the place i never thought i could reach. Sometimes what we did would paid back, by the ways we never expected.

Teach, Learn, Share

This is an important thing.
I'd like to share you what you need to know for your visit in Borneo

1. Water
Clean water here flowing through pipes from filtering company. But not purified, so it is not directly drinkable. You need to boil it first. More practical option is to buy mineral water on bottle.

2. Weather
Indonesia has only two season, hot and rain. Rain still drop on hot season, and hot still comes on rainy season. The differences is only about about of raindrop or the heat. So basically, since Borneo is closer to equator, the climate is hot and humid, 32 to 35 celcius daytime. No need winter clothes anytime in the year. Sunscreen cream is advised

3. Mosquito
Mosquitoes are a lot!!! Be sure you have repellent lotion, or drink anti malaria pill if you want to go to forest.

4. Food
Indonesian tradition is eat with chili for any food. But you still can request non spicy food. Just be aware if you re too sensitive on spicy.
