It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.*

I've been using Kuching as a base for a month and a half now. Brian and Rosemary have been the perfect hosts (despite the fact that I neglected Rosemary's beloved pot plants). They've taken me to numerous eateries around the place and I've been entertained by several wilderness experiences from orangutans at Semmengoh, waterfalls everywhere from Kubah National Park to Gunung Gading National Park, strangling trees at Matang Wildlife Centre, to a crazy mountain bike race at Batang Ai.

It was then that he decided to stop pretending to be normal and stop pretending to be a respectable citizen. He abruptly announced that he planned to embark on a journey beginning somewhere in Asia, heading in a generally westward direction, for an indefinite period of time.
