| Fishing traps Pulau Selirong |
Yesterday, my coursemates and I along with Dr. Irene and her
husband went on a trip to Pulau Selirong (or Mosquito Island). After only three
hours of sleep and sahur, headed straight to UBD to meet up with my friends and
off we went to Serasa Beach. After some chaos (some got lost) took a half an
hour boat trip to the island, east of the Brunei Bay. This was my first time
there after listening to many lectures about eco-tourism and wildlife there by
my lecturers so I was excited to go here.

Unfortunately, we didn't have Dr. Charles, one of my Biology
lecturers whose expertise is on small mammals and birds, with us to help
identify the different calls of birds. Also, unfortunate we didn't get to see
snakes and most importantly, the Orang Belanda, or the proboscis monkey.
Perhaps we could have, had we gone earlier.
Go visit any local tourism agent if you're interested on a trip to Pulau
Selirong. Don't forget to wear appropriate clothes and footwear, bring a bottle
of water and a lot of patience. All it takes, is a little bit of
silence and you will be able to see wildlife roaming around one of the best
mangroves of the world.
