Borneo Malaysia - Headhunting Borneo Style
Another remote river cruise, this time on the mighty Rajang River of Sarawak. Visit Iban longhouses, villages and river ports once the domain of the British Raj. The new RV Orient Pandaw is a delightful throwback to the 19th Century colonial heyday. [query]

Samoa Samoa - Ready to Rebuild
Samoa needs our help. After the tsumani disaster, the little island state needs tourism dollars to rebuild. Want to spend you travel budget usefully? Visit Samoa. Lots of story angles [query]
