More Sarawak Cultural Village

Our second and last day at Sarawak Cultural Village. When I heard that we weren't coming back again the next day (as originally scheduled), I quickly decided to take a quick tour, but found out that most things were already shut (and it was only 5pm). I also just discovered that the Rainforest Music Festival is held there, and so many people stay at "Home-stays" in the longhouses themselves.Part of the show involves an Iban wedding celebration, which is really a lot of dancing.The "ulu" part of the name actually means "hulu", which means one end of a river (I think it's the upriver end).This longhouse really looks like a fort. It's stood quite high up on stilts.Speaks for itself. In case you don't get that they're Muslim, note the Jawi.These guys are crazy about bamboo.You can just about see it past the trees, and that's where we did most of our shots.
These guys are the nomads of the forest here, apparently, and are the best blowpipe makers.And in case it's not obvious enough, note the red bunting around the door and the Chinese characters.My piddly little phone's camera isn't so bad after all, eh? I'm quite impressed and quite happy.
