Solo backpacking in Bako National Park

May 14, 2012

“Enjoy it, man”, T said as I walked past, a backpacker from Liverpool who was travelling with his New Zealander girlfriend, S. “Will do”, I replied, as I set off into the jungle. I had met them days earlier in Kuching, capital city of Sarawak, on the West Coast of Borneo.

This is Goryokaku Star Fort, a 19th century fort in Hakodate, Japan. One of only two European-style star forts in Japan, Goryokaku has since been converted into a public park. It's also one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Hokkaido! 🌸🌸🌸🏯🏯🏯🇯🇵
Somewhere in South Africa, along the Garden Route, we came across this huge warthog sign on the side of the highway. We didn't see any of the little piggies along the way, but this rare street sign was a great discovery nevertheless! 🐗🐷🔺🇿🇦
In Namibia, it was usual to find these great road signs warning us of kudu prancing across the road. We didn't see any, however, as the country involved a lot of highway driving through featureless deserts... 🇳🇦🦌🚧🔻 StickyMangoRice.com
Giraffe crossing! We came across this sign during our road trip through Tanzania, just outside Mikumi National Park. A few hundred metres later, a herd of giraffes stopped traffic as they crossed the road in search of trees to munch on on this rainy day. 🦒🦒🦒🚧 StickyMangoRice.com
Shakespeare and Co Bookshop in Paris, a classic old bookshop near the Notre Dame de Paris. Opened in 1951, it specialises in selling English books, and lets people sleep in the store in exchange for work (and contributing to their 'tumbleweeds' diary)!
This piece of Penang street art by @ernestzacharevic is The Boy and his Motorbike, located on Ah Quee Street. It uses a real motorbike fixed against the old unused door to give this work a real life quality. Painted against the beautiful faded red wood of the door, a young boy relaxes on the motorbike seat wearing an oversized helmet.
