Blog recommendations. Marjorie and I have both been enjoying Eeksy Peeksy, a beautiful and often moving blog written by a man who writes like I wish I could.

Also of note is Borneo Chela, the blog of an American student doing ecological research across the water from us in Borneo. The best place to learn about tree shrew sex and how to care for your stick insects.

Lastly, check out the blog of Bin Gregory, an American who converted to Islam and also lives in Borneo. Having an intermediary who speaks your language really can help you learn a lot about a religion, and a culture.
