Borneo Rainforest World Music Festival

While Kuala Lumpur was going crazy due to the Bersih protest, Caroline and I escaped to Borneo with a group of friends. Destination: World Rainforest Music Festival.
Malaysia is divided into two parts, Kuala Lumpur is located in the Western part of the country and Borneo in the Eastern part across the South China Sea. The festival was taking place outside of Kuching city, so we flew from KL after the seminar ended for some good music and nature!
The festival is a three day event featuring musicians from all over the world. We heard groups from Poland, the Dominican Republic, the US, Ireland, New Zealand, Malaysia and many, many more. The audience was also very international, but we had a great time mingling with the locals and enjoying tons of Malaysian food - our favorite pastime.
Borneo is also famous for its wildlife. It has beautiful coastlines, rainforests, and an animal population that it is desperately trying to conserve. We visited an Orangutan sanctuary before heading back to KL. The sanctuary was beautiful and allowed the animals to live in their natural habitat.
It was great to get away from the craziness of KL for a few days!
