Aren't there still cannibals in Borneo, though? It's beautiful. I'd love to go and learn about the culture, but I'd prefer not to get eaten. Plus, I heard there was g-g-g--g-g-GHOSTS!!!!!

Hi, there's no cannibalism here. In fact, the people here are very friendly and welcoming. Borneo is a popular tourism destination and very safe.
