It was a nice evening and a nice walk with
BengBeng around Sg. Passin Village. We saw a lot of things that we never seen it in city.
We saw some animal bones were hanging around. Not so sure what bones were that.
and we saw some ladies were taking their bath in the river.
In Sg. Passin Longhouse, boats are the main transportation. They usually build the boat themself.
this old lady has a good skill in weaving rattan
and this old man was making a fishing net
Water is precious and never wasted. They used to collect rain water for cooking and drinking during rainy day.
Firewoods are the major sources of energy for cooking.
Ibans eat mostly jungle products. One of their favorite dish is potato leaves.
In town, we used to pet Dog and Cat. In sg. passin longhouse, they used to pet monkey as their pet.
Most of the resident in Sg. Passin pet Birds too.
I saw this cute little pig behind the longhouse. Few months later, this pig will become one of their dish on the dining table. T_T

Nice photos of your trip, victor! Must be having a great time! : )
they have a very interesting culture. In some ways very similar to that of the philippines. I wonder what their religion is. Do you know?
foongpc: Thank you! had a great time there!
Thedong: I like they culture too.. Simple and relax! Most of them are Christian!
really? all i know is that malaysia is a muslim country. i didnt know that there are parts there where christians lives.
i researched about sibu, sarawak and iban in wikipedia and i learned a lot about the culture. i might even consider visiting your country to see the culture myself.
are you a christian too?
what animal bone like that? really want to know.. I think that's symbolic of their "protector", some kind like that.. so also hard to ask them what is that..
do they keep crocodile as pet too
Thedong: Malaysia is a multi-religions society and islam is the offical religion. I am christian!!
Kitty: i guess those must be pig bones. not so sure lar..
JJ: Ya, they keep crocodile as pet!!
i think the animal bones you saw is wild boar lower jaws. hehe
