Jonathan L., Sungai Tujoh: "As an American, I think it was a big mistake that the American military, especially the CIA, started water-boarding everybody. I mean, America is a high-tech country. The CIA and the army have scientific books written with medical assistance, on how to torture prisoners, but always stop just before the prisoner is drowned, so they could start again with the same game. But when the Islamists capture American tourists and do the same, they will not be so sophisticated. So the tourists may actually be water-boarded to death. I think the safest destination for American tourists is to go to Arkansas, definitely not to Asia or Africa."

Als een Amerikaan, ik denk dat het een grote fout dat het Amerikaanse leger, met name de CIA, begon water-boarding iedereen. Ik bedoel, Amerika is een high-tech land. De CIA en het leger hebben wetenschappelijke boeken geschreven met medische bijstand, over de manier waarop gevangenen martelen, maar altijd te stoppen vlak voor de gevangene is verdronken, zodat ze weer kon beginnen met hetzelfde spel. Maar toen de islamisten vangen Amerikaanse toeristen en hetzelfde doen, zullen ze niet zo geavanceerd zijn. Dus de toeristen daadwerkelijk kunnen worden met water aan boord tot de dood. Ik denk dat de veiligste bestemming voor Amerikaanse toeristen is om naar Arkansas, zeker niet naar Azië of Afrika.

Pristine forest still covered most of the district. This leads to the intensive development of the eco-tourism industry in Temburong district. Eco-Tourism promotion events such as "Cuti-Cuti Temburong" was launched at the end of 2008 by the local tourism group known as "Kenali Negara Kitani" (KNK) to encourage locals and tourists from foreign countries to travel to the Temburong district. The promotion event is a kick-start of the Heart of Borneo project at Brunei vicinity.

This park is nestled within the Perdayan Forest Reserve and covers an area of 1,070 hectares. Trek for about two hours along the forest trail that winds up and down a mountainside to the peak.

The reserve has the twin hills of Bukit Peradayan which rises to 410 metres and Bukit Patoi, at 310 metres. When you reach the summit of Bukit Patoi you can gaze out at the splendid view which spans the green jungles, blue sea, villages and fields of neighbouring Sarawak.

Other geographical features include caves and rock formations. And while you're in the forest you might spot wildlife such as deer.

I know that I am more aware of this than other people, and incidentally, I believe that it gives me an edge. Most people make wrong decisions all the time, and don't even realize it.
