travel.While bustling ports like Penang,Malacca,and Singgapore
attracted early travels with dolar in their eyes,borneo attracted
those with adventure in the hearts.Today the island still
draw visitors who seek new and unusual experiencies, a,nd
few leave disappointed.Rivers meander through dense tropical
rain forest,beachs stretch for miles,and caves snake out longer
than any in the world.all sorts of creatures you'd never imagine
live in the rainforest: deer the size of house cats, owly
only 6 ichies tall,the odd proboscis mongkey,and the orangutan,whose
only other the natural home is sumatra,It's also home the
largest flower in the world, the Rafflesia spanning up the
meter wide.small wonder this palace has special interst for
scientiens and reseachers the around world
The
people of Borneo can be created for most of the alluring tales
of eraly travels.The excotically adorned tribes of earring
headhunters and piranted of yesteryear,some of whom still
life lifestyles little changed ( thourg both headhunting and
piracy are now ilegal, Today share their mysstererious culturules
and colorfull traditions openly with outsioders
Add
to the all this fabulous tale the white Raja of Sarawak,Sir
James Brooke,Whose family ruled the state for just over 100
years,and you have a land filled with allure,mystery,romance
unlike any other.
