Malaysia.

I will keep this rather short and this is just to keep you guys updated on my current location.

On the 25th of May we did finally arrive in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo. Our hostel was great, considering the fact that Vincent, our host was a big stoner but at the same time reliable and organised our trips and diving course. Jojo and I started taking this course on the third day of our stay and really enjoyed it. After only one day we had passed the 4-day theory course and went into the water on the 2nd day of the course. This was what we had imagined. We found Nemo, retured him safe to his father and said hello to his neighbors, the Stingrays. Lovely people.

After the completion of this course we went on to Sepilok, the Orang Utan resort on Borneo with our new companion Kelly from Canada. After having experienced the true dangers of the jungle (I got bitten by a leech and almost died of severe bloodloss) and watching the Urang Utans cover themselves up with leaves due to rain (they are somewhat more intelligent than I am) we left and went on to Semporna to do more diving.

This time, we went from Semporna to Sipadan, a small island with an incredibly amazing lime stone wall which descends about 600 m into depth. We saw reef sharks, swam into a storm of Baracudas and enjoyed ourselves.

Today, after 10 hours on the bus, hardly any sleep, 3 hours of waiting due to plane delay, 2 1/2 hours on the plane and 2 more hours of search, we arrived in the crappiest hostel I have ever dwelled in. It resembles cheap late 90's horror movies. This is in Kuala Lumpur by the way.

More soon.
