Pontianak is the capital city of the West Kalimantan province, lying on the island of Borneo near the periphery of Indonesia’s border with Malaysia. With approximately 554,764 inhabitants, Pontianak ranks as a moderately sized city by Indonesian standards (Badan Pusat Statistik Indonesia, 2010). When I arrived in 2015, there was virtually no tourism industry—the only attraction was an equatorial monument located about thirty-minutes from the city centre. As such, the majority of the city’s migrants were domestic, travelling from nearby towns to pursue work or further education.
