One of my Dayak friends always celebrates Gawai at his kampong which happens to be a 'rumah panjang'. It’s a preety cool experience as I’ve never been to one. Last year was my first…now my second.
With Mr. Kee Kieng on the way to Tim's
This kampong happens to be an hour drive from Kuching city, that is if you’re using the shorter route. Last year we used a farther one and it took us more than 2 hour just to reach the place.
Arrival at Tim's kampong featuring Awang
Tim’s rumah panjang is kinda cool. Coz it’s one of those which have not been transformed into the modern rumah panjang which is made from bricks. Tims’ was all naturale… the bamboo floors…wooden walls… Last time there use to be a tree trunk stair but now it’s been replaced with a typical staircase.
Going up the long house
A different world...
Tim’s long house as Gawai as it can be. People dancing…Iban music playing at the background… the foods.

The foods served at Tim's (halal k...)
We went to 3 houses on the long house and another of Tim’s uncle on the way out of the village.
Reach town at around 9pm.
Tim’s was actually the 3rd visiting place we went to as earlier that day all of us went to Eve’s village some where in Kota Samarahan and then Anna’s house in Batu Kawa.
