Borneo

Borneo, Malaysia, the jungle... Longhouses.... It's all but a myth for tourists, so it seemed to me but got the chance to meet some dancers or stage performers in what they call traditional costums...
The people I met were absolutely lovely! Managed to get a glimpse of an orang utan in the process and got the chance to dive super expensive but exquisit Sipadan! It's a volcanic island in the Celebes Sea with plenty of marine life. So much that you don't actually know where to look. But more about that later! Our dancers were beautiful, the girls elegant, and the boys really funny! Great performances!

Bali

Sorry for letting you down after all this time. Was kept quite busy and I am not too fond of internet cafes. I do need a personal assistant!
So Bali was great, to say the least. And I was amazed by their traditional Legong dance. Very close to divine! I met my teacher in Ubud. She was very patient with me, as I didn't have a clue was it was all about when I first started. I can tell you it's really hard on the shoulders!!! And the costums are among the most beautiful I have ever seen. Difficult to believe that one can actually dance in a sarong and 10kg of metal on the head!
