Oh wie schoen ist Bario.

Off the beaten track in Borneo
... different level to Bario. It pains me that Lonely Planet have refused invites to visit their village and homestay but instead include their Bario counterparts who offer a really poor service. If im ever in Borneo again I will be back to visit them. ...

"Great big supermarket"
Quote from Ryan (our Kelabit guide): "the jungle is like a great big supermarket for us" - meat, fish, everything, we can't survive without it. Kelabit longhouses - one house is built, then gradually more are added on as the family gets larger. There ...
