On the 1st day, I travelled almost whole day in Kalimantan Barat to look for a town for a rest. Then, 2nd day, I visited the coastal areas of Kalimantan Barat to look for plants & nice places to photograph.


Local people completely destroyed the Mangrove forest along the coast for firewoods & charcoal. The consequences: the erosion caused by wave has destroyed the houses & coastal roads. Now, people learnt from the mistake & starting to plant Mangrove trees.

On the 3rd day, I went deep into the jungle with my friends. It took us sometime to find the right trail to the summit of a mountain in Kalimantan but unfortunately, it rain heavily around 12pm, so we're forced to get out of the jungle.
