Hey everyone!  Well here's a question for you all...Who all know's what Borneo is?  Anybody?  Wait a minute...what kind of question is this?  I'm talking about homeschoolers here!  Haha!  Ofcoarse you know!  Lol.  Well for those of you who MIGHT not,it's the third largest island in the world and it's made up of three countries I believe.  Indonesia,Malaysia,and Brunei.  Anywhoo some of the most complicated and diverse ecosystems are on this island.  Rainforests..jungles..ooohhhh just the words send shivers up my spine.  Only because I LOVE them!  It's always been one of my top things to do,"visit one or more of them.".  Then about 3 years ago this show came out on the discovery channel.  It was called Expedition Borneo.  If you haven't seen or heard of it then here's a little bit about it.

    Imagine this if you will....Pristine jungles and rainforests a lot of which still need discovering,are being deforested for lumber and decreasing rapidly.  Well this is how these 6 scientists felt and they set out on an expedition to explore and discover parts of these jungles and hopefully discover new species of plants and animals.  Their point was to try and prove that these amazing places were worth saving and protecting.  Well they discovered plenty of new species and explored places believed that no man hath set foot on before.  Now forestation has stopped for the most part,and they've deemed a lot of national parks and reserves to protect these awesome jungles. 

    Well when I first saw this show I immediatly aspired to go there someday.  Well I'm a little older now and I've actualy looked into it and now,I along with my good friend Shane,my brother Kolton,and whoever else might want to come,are planning a trip to Malaysian Borneo to explore and document whatever we find.  Now another more simple way of saying it would be...We're going to have fun!  haha!  Really though,we're planning on visiting mainly Sabah "which is in Malaysia" to basicaly explore remote parts of the jungle and record the trip via pictures and videos and such.  If you've ever seen pics or actualy been there then you can imagine why we're aspiring to do so.  :)  So far the Maliau Basin or "Sabah's Lost World" is looking like the best place to go.  We're wanting to take our backpacks and supplies,and head out on an adventure. 

    Now for those of you who think we're silly or weird or anything like that,then I encourage you to check out pics of these jungles and see through our eyes in a way.  lol.  Here's just some pics.

These are just the tiny bit of pics I have.  So not much.  Look hard enough though,and you can find some awesome beautifull pictures.  You can also go on Youtube,and type in "Expedition Borneo" there's some good clips.  Also here are some sites you can check out.

Anywhoo...Lord willing that trip will be taking place this year or the next.  We shall see.  Well there's that post.  Lol.  :)  I could post a ton more about all the endangered species that live there and the species that only live on Borneo such as the Proboscis monkey and the Sumatran rhino and many others,or the fact that over 360 new species have been discovered there in the last 10 years!  I think I'll save that for later though.  :P  Haha.  :)  Adios all ye readers!!
