Going to Pakoh - Part 1

During the weekends i went back to my mum's longhouse in Pakoh, Sri Aman. A four hours plus drive through the Trans Borneo highway, so we took the opportunity to stop over in Sri Aman, a two hours drive from Kuching.

On the way to Sri Aman, we stopped in Lachau, a pitstop before heading towards Betong. Saw a few people crowding this small stall selling wild boar meat. It is one of those exotic yet illegal meat to be eaten and found in those areas.



This women was busy with her customers...is a luxurious business selling exotic meat around this part of town...

I was in Sri Aman for a while.. 


The Batang Lupar river @ famous for the Bujang Senang folklore and legend of the white crocodile


You can even try your hands and skills during the tidal bore where huge waves hits the river like an ocean like motion....during a certain time of the year...imagine surfing a river fully infested by crocs...


There was this shop selling some decorations and clothings of the Ibans..












They were trying out the instruments displayed...for business promotions...




I was attracted by this traditional baby carrier...




P/S: Part 2 coming right up :)
