Borneo tribes.... yeah, no question. There is an intence effort to perserve the evaporating culture in Borneo.

Maylaysia is developing into an inustrialised culture and many of the city people think of the tribal culturally backwards.

Really, most people in Borneo cities don't know anything about the life-styles of their more tribal neighbors or their own ancestors.

For instance. The plugs I wear where carved in Borneo. They're ade of water-buffalo horn, and over the years they've become very brittle, and I needed a new pair. So I asked arround while I was there, looking for native jewlery.

People looked at me like I was a madman. Nobody I spoke to had ever seen anything like that. And this in Borneo, where they used to strech their ears to six inches when they were still in their teens.


As for Indinesian-Borneo, I couldn't really say. I didn't make it to that side of the island. But I'm sure the tribal-peoples are much reduced from the tsunami. I imagin that many of the people are all together gone at this point.

I was there when the tsunami hit.... I tell you.... it was something....

blah my sg tolerance is wearing thin. so how exactly do they do the billing? is it every month or in one chunk? either way i owe the bank $43 for an sg overcharge i wasn't expecting.
