Made what will probably be my last trip for 2006 in Borneo before leaving.
Went to a semi-deserted place, in swamp forest on the rive. Most of the young people went down river to work in the oil industry and now there are 4 houses left (not shown except one on the other side of the river
Longhouse (very short longhouse)

Fallen sago palm

Sago processing - the pith is placed on the mat , sieved and then it is rinsed in the trough and collected at the other end of the trough (not shown)

These guys came paddling by. Nice to not see outboard motors

Thought you might like to see these thorns. They break easily on side pressure but if you lean back :aargh4:

I came across a man with these Budgie sized parrots (called serindah in Standard Malay seripas in Brunei Malay). The photo does not do justice to their iridescent colours

The caged birds are the ‘decoys’ to lure their wild kin to join the feast (Nestum – a baby cereal). The capture method is a leg snare or a sticky sap site on perch)
The birdman

Saw 3 helicopters on a scrap heap on the way back -does anyone know what type they are? Observation bubble on the port side?
