The island of Borneo includes territory belonging to both Malaysia and Indonesia, plus the tiny Nation of Brunei. After initial research I opted to visit Sarawak, the Malaysian State on the island. The city of Kuching (or Cat) is the ideal place to stay while exploring National Parks and animal sanctuaries.
