Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve
The Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve is a quiet corner of Singapore where mangroves and wetland wildlife thrive.

Bangar Travel Guide
BANGAR stands on the Sungei Temburong in the hilly Temburong District. Bangar can only by reached by a hair-raising speedboat journey from Bandar (B$7). The boats scream through narrow mangrove estuaries that are home to crocodiles and proboscis monkeys, swooping around corners and narrowly missing vessels travelling the opposite way, before shooting off down Sungei Temburong. After such a lead-up, the town of Bangar is something of a disappointment; its main street, which runs west from the jetty to the town mosque, is lined only with a handful of coffee shops and provision stores.

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
Singapore and Rio de Janeiro are the world’s only two cities to contain primary rainforest within their boundaries. This small patch of primary rainforest was formally connected to the larger tract of secondary rainforest that encompasses all three freshwater reservoirs in Singapore (Central Catchment Area). But the construction of the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) in the 1980s had effectively terminated the connection. As a result, the small mammals that lived here no longer had access to the secondary rainforest unless they embark on the dangerous trek across the BKE. Bukit Timah is located seven miles (12km) from

Kalimantan Travel Guide
Kalimantan is the Indonesian part of the island of Borneo. It occupies the central and southern regions of the island. Kalimantan is one of the least visited parts of Indonesia. The main reason for this is that it takes a long time and a fair amount of money and effort to explore. The good thing about the lack of tourists is that Kalimantan has remained unspoilt. The indigenous Dayaks, or the Orang Gunung (Mountain People), traditionally live in longhouses called Lamin or Umaq Daru that can house as many as 50 people. Once known as headhunters, the tribe
