Sabah, the land below the wind
The conformable seasons of Borneo makes it a perfect all-year-round destination. The Portuguese explorer Magellan once called the island as “The Land Below the Wind.” And he was entirely accurate with his remarks. Borneo is free of earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis, and only has two dominant seasons which are the Southwest and the Northeast Monsoon, monsoon being wind and not rain. This means that visiting Borneo any time of the year will give you summer. Here are some short facts about the great island of the south.
North East of Borneo, Sabah is a state of the Malaysian States Federation. The state is about half the land area of England but is populated with only around three million people. Caucasians only discovered the jungles and wildlife of Borneo after the World War Two. Most areas then were hard to reach and can only be visited commonly by helicopter. The people in Borneo are mostly Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and Muslims. A small portion of the population follow the local religion Animism. The multicultural, multilingual and multiracial society of Borneo is tolerated by a majority of the people. The locals are known for their hospitality and friendliness. When touring the villages, you always be greeted by smile. Foreigners who ahd decided to make Borneo their home usually travel in bikes to help reduce pollution and to preserve Borneo’s wildlife.
