Sapphire is one of the indigenous people of Sabah, of the Rungus tribe. Actually I’ve never heard of such a tribe before… Now my horizon has broadened! I wonder how it feels like to be in a tribe?

I’ve never been to Sabah either. I suppose this is quite unusual for Hong Kong people… let’s hope one day I will visit Borneo!

I personally like this card very much, from a ‘photographer’ point of view. The light was very good! Well, it may be a bit too cloudy but still… I have learned how to pronounce the name of the city “Irkutsk”, trust me, I had no idea where it was. It’s from Siberia!!!!! It took a very long time to come to HK :)
