RYSE (the Rainforest Action Networks Youth Blog) - http://ryse.ran.org/ and
Ethical Expeditions - http://ethicalexpeditions.ning.com/
Both of these are group blogs, so you might have to dig to find my stuff... enjoy the other postings on those sites as well! Ethical Expeditions has lots of blogs (and videos: check out "Bridge Development in the Bay of Balikpapan") by the other Quest students currently in Borneo.
Here are some of my favorite things about East Kalimantan (the region of Borneo that we're exploring) so far:
1. take-out iced tea in plastic bags
2. the beautiful children of Kampung Baru, a rural district on the outskirts of Balikpapan
3. nasi pecel! a spicy veggie and rice dish that we eat at least once a day
4. Stanislav Lhota, a czech environmentalist and "recreational" proboscis monkey researcher who we just spend two days with in the mangroves of Balikpapan Bay.
5. the busses of Balikpapan: 30 cents will get you wherever you need to go...
6. smiles wherever we go (are they laughing at our goofy quick-dry rip-stop outfits? probably...)
Selamat Malam!
