Great site - tons of pictures of Borneo

Michael Lo has built up this rather enormous series of expedition photos. Lots of loaches, but you have to dig. Nice place to dig!

I gotta go there at some point soon.

Nice collection of pics. I visited Kota Kinabulu (formerly Jesselton) in Sabah many years ago to inspect a copper mine that the Japs were developing on the east slope of Mt Kinabulu. Brings back memories of those jungle streams.

Oh wow! I've only got up to trip #21 so far and I'm overloaded by beautiful scenery. Just beautiful.

Thanks for the link Mark. I remember seeing some of Lo's pics over a year ago. He's done alot more exploring since.

I only found that site through a link from Zhou Hang's site, where there are many expedition reports through Malaysia, some with Nonn in Thailand, Singapore, and China.

These guys... I'm mad with envy, even if Bettas don't do it for me. The scenery shots are what I find compelling, though. Like every puddle has something amazing in it.
