Espresso with the Headhunters - A journey through the jungles of Borneo

The indigenous people of Borneo use blowpipes and poisoned darts. They wear 'pan handle' haircuts, live in communal dwellings and some tribes have mastered the art of making themselves 'invisible' in the jungle. But above all, they have a reputation as fearsome headhunters. Having cast aside his Armani jeans and bought up all the jungle equipment he could find, John Wassner sets off to experience and explore the wilds of Borneo, one of the last relatively unknown places on earth. His only concern: whether he would be able to find a decent cup of espresso in the jungle. But life in the wilderness turns out to be quite agreeable - with wonderful (if unusual) food, all-night longhouse parties, drunken natives and breathtaking surroundings. In a journey that took over twelve months of planning and preparation, John takes on the mighty Rajang river, travelling up its many tributaries into the heart of Borneo - visiting remote longhouses, isolated frontier towns, government outposts, logging camps and nomadic tribes deep in the jungle. Interspersed with lively descriptions of places and people are anecdotes, glimpses of history, local legends, occasional lies and healthy doses of humour.
