For those of you like me fascinated at the vast island of Kalimantan (Borneo as it used to be known) without the problems and hardship of actually going outside of the few large cities then this a good but not great read. At least you get a feel as to what life is like there and it may even spur your travel lust to actually go and find out

In 1978, a seismic contractor working in Borneo took off for a five month "stroll" through the wilds of Borneo, crossing from Sarawak to Indonesia, travelling by foot, boat and small plane and living with the local tribes, often in large 'long houses'. Fascinating account ot one of the world's most unknown wild places. ( )
