Just a few days ago, I went off in
search of the Malaysian Bajau,
who are also known as sea
gypsies. My expedition was no
smooth ride, as it’s very difficult
to come in contact with these
people who live far away from
civilization.
It was a true obstacle course. After
several hours in flight, I touched
down in Kuala Lumpur before
connecting with another three
hour flight to Tawau. After an
hour and a half by bus, I finally
managed to reach Semporna, one
of the largest cities in Borneo and
an important harbor. It is from
here that the tourists leave to go
enjoy the wonderful dive sites that
Malaysia has to offer.
