Group 1's take on Day 1

Different types of tribal cultures can be found here. Such as the Ibans and the Bidayuhs. . We are able to adapt to the rural environment of a ‘dayak’ lifestyle. We stayed in an Iban longhouse. We went to the different types of longhouse during the day. We enjoyed ourselves looking at the traditional instruments of the tribes. After a long day looking at the different types of longhouses, it is time for lunch. The food served is very delicious. They are cooked traditionally. The Ibans are the strongest tribe among others. They practice head hunting thousands of years ago. They hunt the heads of their enemies to show their commitment towards their tribe and their family. This shows their bravery. We also learnt the history of each different tribe. We learnt how the sago, rice were made. We learnt how the blowpipe was formed. We got to mix around with the ethnic people n got to know them. We too learnt the rules of living and respect the things in a longhouse by not touching certain things. Finally, our dinner was a mouth-watering finish as we get to fill our stomach after all the walking and before we get to sleep. We watched the international dance group performed by the different type of ethnic tribes and we enjoyed it. I think that today was really fun and an exciting day. We are all looking forward to tomorrow’s schedule. For now, time to sleep. Goodniteeeeeeeeeeeeee .
