hey all!
i was gonna upload some pics of the orangutans, but it doesn't seem to be working.
so i'm just gonna give you a brief update!
i came to sandakan yesterday night. it was hot. it smelled like fish. i was the only white person in the whole town. i was the only person at the hostel.
but it's cool! =) i like it. people are so friendly. so it's not like you feel scared walking the street. no they are just curious! they all say hi, and smile and look at you. and the guy at the hostel is just soo nice. the hostel is awesome, very fresh and clean. everything here is sooo cheap. i love it. it's perfect.
the fish smell i realized comes from the store next to the hostel. a fish store. that sells dried fish, and even dried seahorses. no wonder it smells like aquarium in the whole building.
i went to sepilok today, and saw the orangutans. only three of them, but they were cute. they ate their bananas and swinged in the ropes. awesome animals.
i met nice people there too, this irish guy came with me back to stay at my hostel. that's good, gives me some company. not in the same room, not that kind of company, don't get me wrong =P he's just cool to hang with. we had dinner and talked and took a walk around town.
he's leaving for kota kinabalu tomorrow i think, and i'm going down for a trip at this cave. and after that i'm off to semporna. well, i've gotta take a shower. i am so sweaty. it's not sunny, but it's humid. like sitting in a sauna. the sweat just drips non stop.
i like borneo though, it's gonna be a good three weeks.
take care you all, and i will talk to you later <3
