His words broke my reflective state, and I caught him grinning at me, as he always did when he had an idea. “You are standing here on the bridge that you built only a few months ago,” he went on, with that knowing twinkle in his eyes, “and all of the things that have happened to you here must seem strange, you know? You should write a book about this! You have an amazing story to tell!” This is a true story of a young man who, after being persuaded by his friends. joins an expedition to Malaysia. He quickly realises that the expedition was just the beginning of a very unexpected journey. Venturing out on his own, he finds himself in the north of Sabah, on the island of Borneo. There, he lives with the Rungus people, who take him in as one of their own.
