DAY ONE OF OUR SAWAWAK ADVENTURE
I can’t give you the Top Ten list of things to do in Sarawak yet because this was day one and so we haven’t got through everything.
We’ve had a pretty busy, eventful day and we are about to go out to eat, so in haste, I just thought I’d show you some of the photos I’ve taken today of where we’ve been:-
Sarawak Cultural Village
45 minute drive from Kuching to watch a cultural show:-
Please don’t think I have a foot fetish, but having been studying and working on feet at length in my Pilates and stretching classes back in London I had no idea how much more flexible feet can be when you actually use them properly – these dancers had such mobile feet I was fascinated:-
Very good warrier demonstration complete with (hopefully not poison) darts being blown out of traditional blow pipes to pop balloons:-

We were then given a tour of the various different ethnic houses of the major native groups of Sarawak. Our guide, Rose was extremely knowledgable and gave us lots of insight into how Borneo’s indigenous tribes live:-
All the different styles of housing:-

and some of their older traditions – including a few shrunken heads:-

Back after dinner to upload the other photos
