Perhaps, someone will asking, why I chose the name My Beautiful Borneo. Here I will explain.
Borneo is the world's third largest island. Only Greenland and New Guinea are larger. With an area about 287,000 square mile (743,330 square kilometers), Borneo is larger than many nations of the world. Borneo straddles the equator at the western end of Pacific Ocean. To the north, across the South China Sea, is the mainland of Asia.
Politically, the island is divided among three separate nations: Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Kalimantan, the largest region of Borneo, belong to Indonesia. Mean, approximately 73% of the island is Indonesian territory. Sabah and Sarawak to Malaysia and together are known as East Malaysia. Brunei, a tiny, oil-rich nation, is situated on the northwestern coast of the island.
The Island is surrounded by four oceans that keep a lot of the history of human civilization in the past, the South China Sea and Sulu Sea lie to the north, the Celebes Sea to the east and the Java sea to the south. Borneo's highest point is Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, with an elevation of 4,095 m (13,435 ft) above sea level. Beside that, Borneo Island is home to the most unique animal and plant species. Some of them are among the most unusual in the world. Those are the privileges of Borneo Island.
Other than its nature, Borneo also famous with its population of ethnicity, culture, customs and religion. For example, there are more than 30 ethnic groups with no less than 80 dialects. Over thirty of the language is owned by indigenous people such as Dayak, Murut, Bajau, Rungus, Latod, Irranun, Talantang, Sonsogon, Likabau, Garoh (Kimaragang), Tinagas, Idahan, Sungai and Dusun.
The existence of various ethnic groups should surely many cultures and festivals that are celebrate. That is what I will highlight in this blog.
