Palang Karaya (but also Jakarta, Lahad Datu, Sandakan...more)

i'm typing now from a hot internet cafe in palang karaya, central kalimantan. on borneo. since the last time i wrote i did so much i can hardly even remember it all, but we did spend three days deep in the rainforest, trekking through the jungle, learning about reforestation efforts, swimming in a waterfall, tubing down a rainforest river, getting leeches all over us, eating strange food in a open air kitchen that had been sitting out in the heat all day, meeting super nice caring people, seeing elephants walk by through a river with their babies, seeing orangutans in the wild, also red leaf monkeys, gibbons, lots of other animals, a flying lemur. i have so many more details to add later, but i just landed back in borneo again after being in jakarta and kuala lumpur and other places. i'm tired. but insanely happy. i think the hotel we are going to in a few minutes has a pool. my clothes are entirely covered in mud and drenched with sweat and humidity, i need to wash them stat. bye.
