Concerning your enquiry about W. Smith, I'm sorry I've never heard of this man. I do suggest you contact the Sepilok Nature Resort they may be able to help you. You can contact them through www.sepilok.com I'd be very interested to know if you manage to find this person, it sounds like a great story. Regards John Hodges |

| 14th July 2009 lise balcer | orang-outan Smith - From: Sepilok Orang-Utan Sanctuary and jungle adventures Bonjour, I am from Québec and i saw a film on tv once about what was hapening to the orang-outan in Bornéo by a certain W. Smith who went to Bornéo to study trees. But one day he went to the market in the city and saw a baby O-O for sale. He didn't know what to do. So he went back home to the center and felt so bad about doing nothing for the little animal. He decided to go back the next day. He saw the same baby in the garbage practekely dead. He took the baby and ran off with him while the merchant was yaling you stole my goods. So M.Smith tried in vain to save the O-O. etc....... Could you tell me where i can reach this M.Smith, is he still working there for the O-O. Thank you for your kindness and fantastic work trying to save the world ! We have too !!!! Lise Balcer |

| 5th June 2009 billy bui | Nice adventure travel - From: Bach Ma National Park in search of the Edward's Pheasant your trip is really great. I really want to travel Vietnam one day http://www.threeland.com |
| 4th June 2009 larry dinh | Thank You - From: Sleeper coach to Nha Trang for sunbathing and noodles then onto Saigon & goodbye to Vietnam Reading your blog made me feel like I am really there in Vietnam. I agree with you 100%. Vietnam has a "money first policy" to all tourists and even local people. I am an American-Vietnamese and was there in April 2009. I didn't go through what you'd been through because I was so 'chicken' to venture like you do, and I admire your bravery. Although I did have some bad experiences there because they know I am not from Vietnam and tried to rob me blind and I didn't fight back like you did. It is sad that such a beautiful country is ruin by greed and hostile. Once again, thank you for sharing your experiences and pictures are great! Really enjoy your blog. |
