The Batang Rejang, or Rejang River, at about 560 kilometers, is the longest river in Borneo. It’s a highway for the movement of people and goods, as well as the logs cut from the rain forests of the interior.
These graceful boats are tied up at a dock in Kapit, up the Batang Rejang, the Rejang River, 3 hours or so in an express boat from the South China Sea.
Keen to view all the delights of Sri Lanka’s “Cultural Triangle” we headed out to the magnificent “Lion Rock” or “Sigiriya”. Here one climbs a rickety stair to view rock paintings of several maidens.
I flew from Kota Kinabalu, KK in local parlance, northern Borneo in the State of Sabah, Malaysia, to Sibu in Sarawak, for the sole purpose of traveling by public express boat up the Batang Rajang, the river that serves as the primary highway into the fabled rain forest of Borneo.
On my way from Hong Kong Island to Lantau Island and the Po Lin Monastery, I caught the ferry at Central for the ride to Mui Wo. Emerging from the terminal building there, I was struck by the dense sea of bicycles parked to one side.
In the corner of a small lake in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka I came across this delightful 3rd Century BC rock carving of a Smiling Elephant. It is so wonderfully ‘cartoonish’ that it set me thinking about the sculptor who clearly had a great sense of humor.
Fish are an important and traditional source of dietary protein for those living in coastal Sri Lanka. Even in modern times fishing is still very much a cottage industry.
Most of Indonesia is Muslim, the most populous Muslim majority country in the world. But Bali is home to Indonesia’s Hindus, about 85% of the island’s population.
It is pretty much what most of us will see on a daily basis if we are travelling in a warm climate. It is the life saver at the end of a hot dusty day our on the road.
