From Borneo to Netherlands

I finally planted my feet firmly on the other end of Borneo, specifically the south west part - the State of Sarawak of the Malaysian Borneo. It was quite an amusing trip as the two pictures shows. The first was Amy helping our new-found friend Jorik who wanted to buy a few of the machetes that the locals use - this is not one of those touristy type that they usually sell to tourists (duh...).

(post continue below...)

So we headed to one of the hardware stores in Kuching during the last day of our trip, back from Bako National Park. Can't remember what it cost him but with Amy's bargaining skills I know it must have been a good deal.

Anyway, the machettes found it's way more than halfway around the globe a few days later, in the land of the wooden clogs (2nd pic).

Jorik... what can I say? You're the man.
