To sightsee:
Borneo, Malaysia
I recently went to stay and cook with a headhunter tribe in Borneo's rainforest. Of all the sights, nothing beats waking up to see their ancestors' 'trophies'.
However, there are other amazing things to see - rainbows after the frequent rainstorms, kids playing naked in the waterfalls and streams. Their life is so primitive: bamboo huts with no gas, no electricity, no pots and pans, no utensils. In the longhouse, where 20 to 30 families live and cook, there is a cutting board next to a hole where you can drop the waste down. Underneath they keep ducks, chicken, geese and pigs and they recycle the waste - it's not like there are rubbish collectors out there.
The tribespeople harvest wild rice and to cook it they stuff the rice into bamboo tubes, along with water, fresh peppercorn, lemon grass and chilli. They then plug the top with leaves and barbecue the whole thing. When cooked, they slice it in half with a machete.
