Equatorial Monument On Borneo Island

Some people may not know this but the nearest equatorial monument to us here on Borneo Island is in Pontianak, Kalimantan Barat or Kalbar.  There is one in Quito, Ecuador, South America which is on the other side of the world.  It would cost a LOT TO GO THERE!!  It's somewhat easy to go to Pontianak nowadays what with MASwings and Batavia - Air offering flights from Kuching, Sarawak to Pontianak.  So do check the place out!
