Been to Bintulu

Hi everyone! I'm currently in bintulu, which is a 2-hour drive northeast of sibu (unless you take the bus which will be more since it stops every freaking moment). Anyhow, today is my last day here I this town and my next and last stop is Miri where I will be heading to tomorrow.

Places I travelled while I am here were Taman Tumbina Bintulu and Similajau National Park. The former place can be translated as plant/animal park as locals will realise it's actually a wordplay of the Malay words: tumbuhan (plants) and binatang (animals). It used to be a zoo but they turned it into a conservation centre a few years back, which is something even i do not know of until recently. The latter is a typical national park infested with mosquitoes (my limbs are evident of this). Nearby the park is my old national service camp. Too bad I'm not the patriotic type to begin with which kinda wasted the camp's effort to convert me into one.

Alas, as I ate my last dinner here in bintulu, I leave you with this picture I took at the beach of the national park.
