Verdant, primary, vital, alive, wild, flourishing - all these words seem too small to describe the rain forests of Malaysian Borneo. 60m tall trees with whole ecosystems living in their branches and on their stems. The sounds of birds and insects at inconceivable decibels. The only species of great ape found outside of Africa (besides us of course); hundreds of mammals, rodents and reptiles. Impen...

The food looks delicious!
Hi guys, enjoyed this blog very much. I think the only way to curb the palm oil plantations is to boycott companies that use it in their soaps and cosmetics... there have been a few campaigns here (in Australia), but not very successful ones. I loved your solutions to the world's problems :) Cheers Ren

Hullo Ren
Thanks for feeling the palm oil thing with us! Sorry for the late reply to your message, we are in China now and internet connections are quite limited. We have been following you around Cambodia and have noticed that things have changed a bit there too since our last visit in about 2009. They have some very serious social problems to overcome, but the Cambodians seem to be quite resilient and resourceful and we loved their positivity when we were there. I hope this has continued. Unfortunately we will not make it back there on this trip as we are so running out of time. Wish we had the luxury of time to do it the way you are!! Enjoy your travels!! C
