Ramsalte has lived and worked out of Miri in Sarawak and Kuala Belait in Brunei and has spent precious time going up the rivers into the jungles of Borneo visiting local Ibans and Dajaks. In the longhouses where some of the young men he worked with on the off shore oil rigs came from and young girls working as amas in the houses of the expats it was a time he treasured very much and a time that still brings happy memories.
