BRINGING BACK OLD MEMORIES

Some people throw old photos away for new ones but not me. I love keeping them especially those I considered containing useful information for future references. The photos below were taken when I was teaching in one of the remote schools in Belaga District, Sarawak.

This school is no longer exist. It was moved together with the whole village to the new resettlement area in Sungai Assap near Bakun Hydro electric project downriver. Long Jawe was one of those Kenyah villages along Batang Balui a.k.a Rejang River.


Longboat ride..the only way to move around for the ordinary local folks.


Was known as the headhunters' weapon but now more as exhibition's object. It is normally accompanied by a small carving knife as shown below.




This place was famous among the locals for it's valueable fish known as "Semah" and "Empurau". I was one of those lucky "outsiders" who was invited by some local friends to taste the juicy fish!
