Star Rainforest Movie Festival @ Sarawak Cultural Village, Part two of Seven

Next stop is the Iban house, Iban live in all areas of Sarawak. Many of the Iban live in a longhouse, in a longhouse it can reach 50 or more rooms, each with different family, all live under one roof.


Welcome to the longhouse of the Iban village.


A strange looking tree trunk, there a paddle under it. Don’t ask me, cause I don’t know that it use for


a mini rumah Iban


The corridor of the longhouse, in the middle there’s a handmill to grind straw. I had give it a try, and it was actually quite easy to grind.

Inside the house was easily furnished, with some ancient vase...


some funny looking mask hanging on the wall...
