Dudes,
Here are some shots that I'd like to share from my expedition to the upper reaches of a river at the Malaysian-Indonesia border in East Malaysia.

more shots! these were taken in the course of three weeks. more than 20 hours were spent on boating covering some 575 kilometres on a single journey. here, I had a chance to meet the Iban people of Sarawak which is located in East Malaysia. plenty of barter-trading activities involving blades over here!!! nice fishing and hunting too!

Cool photos!!!! Thanks for sharing! What is your line of work, anyway? Or is this for pure fun or both? <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Looks like a great trip. Thanks for allowing us to live vicariously through you.
One question: Is your military PE or S?

Samo,
Your trip looks great! Are any of your stories published in US magazines? If so, let us know when one comes out.
Here's where I spent 10 days backpacking last month... the Grand Canyon. Highly recommended... except for the heat and dryness.
Edited to say... Sorry about the lack of pics... the file sizes are too large.

Howdy Gary,
I write for an afternoon paper in my country, never had any stories published in US magazines. Sometime ago, I wrote about my visit to Spyderco and the 23rd annual New York Custom Knife show! Hey! I was in Arizona last year, but didn't quite make it to the Grand Canyons.. Its a wonderful place.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
