All we knew was that our trip was to consist of two segments: the first would be to carry out a native customary land rights survey - whatever that entailed - and the following week we would be witnessing the upgrade of a few mini hydroelectric units.
But our two weeks in Kuching and Bengoh would turn out to be so much more than that.

It isn’t every day that you have an experience that awes you, teaches you, makes you want to repeat it, and possibly even makes you mull over your potential career pathway.
This trip was one such experience, and it is precisely because of that that I have been putting off documenting it in any way: I simply don’t know how to begin, how to do it justice. I don’t fancy myself an eloquent enough writer to be able to tell you what Chris and I and the people we were with went through.
But I suppose, because every story has to begin somewhere, and because I’m dying to share it with you really, I shall try.

ReplyDeleteThis sentence really touches me a lot and i am so glad we guys were able to let you guys experienced something out of the ordinary. We were so worried that the trip would turn out to be a hazard and worthless. Waiting to read more from your blog. btw, this is Simon.
The trip was anything but a hazard and worthless ;) We're already planning on going back next year, haha. Thanks for everything, Simon!
