Dear Nanang,
I am writing to thank you for the organization of the trip to the Apokayan with Rustam. I
enjoyed the trip very much and managed to get quite a number of good photographs. I will
email some to you in the next day or so when I have had a chance to go through them.

As you may have gathered, I have quite a lot of experience traveling in Indonesia and in
particular am interested in photographing indigenous cultures. It seems to me that by far
the best opportunity of doing so is at various festivals. Could you please let me know
whether there are any Dayak festivals (or any other cultural events) coming up and I will
try to get there to photograph them (work here permitting). It does not matter whether the
festivals are big or small. I had a particular interest in going to the Erau festival this year but
it was cancelled. Events such as small festivals (and even weddings and funerals which I
appreciate must be photographed with great sensitivity if at all) are often fantastic
photographic opportunities.

Needless to say, I very much enjoyed having a quick look at the Dayak culture and I'm sure
there is much more to be seen in other areas of Kalimantan including the top of the Mahakam
River.....

I just wanted to let you know what a great job you did on my tour. It was nearly perfect. I had only a few inconveniences. With all the planes I was on I never missed a connection or had any lost luggage. The only thing I would suggest is that you tell people on Air Asia the limit weight is only 15 kilos. I always bring too much so I was very much overweight.

Rambo, August and Pascal were excellent guides and took very good care of me. Everyone showed up the the airport to pick me up and I didn't have to worry about a thing. By the way, when I got to Kotakinabalu in Malaysia my guide did not show up at the airport.

I would be happy to give you a recommendation for anyone wanting to travel with you from the States. Also, if you would like me to write something for your website as a recommendation I would be happy to do that also.

By the way, KALIMANTAN WAS MY FAVORITE PLACE ON MY WHOLE TRIP!!! I have travelled all over the world and I can honestly say that KALIMANTAN IS MY FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WHOLE WORLD. There are 2 places in Africa that come in second and third (Nile Safari Camp, on the Nile River in Uganda and Ishasha Wilderness Camp on the Ishasha River in Uganda, Africa.

Take care.
