I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

After my Kanowit visitation , then we took another detour to Julau while on our way to Meradong (Bintagor). And a little bit of background details about the Julau Town. Julau is a town, and the capital of the Julau District (1703.39 square kilometers) in Sarikei Division, Sarawak, east Malaysia. The district population (year 2000 census) was 34,500. The population is dominated by Iban as well as Chinese especially the Fuzhou. This is the first time I saw raw rubber, the lorry was loaded with these stuff.

It is built on the mouth of Kanowit River at the bank of Rajang River, approximately 174 kilometers from the coast of South China Sea. It will take 45 minutes to get there by land transport and about an hour boat ride from Sibu. The main ethnic groups are Iban, Chinese, Malay, and Melanau. This is the landmark singnature of the Kanowit town, the olive? hmmmm..... The town takes its name from the Kanowit, a Melanau ethnic group called Rajang by the Ibans. The language is still spoken. There still are some Kanowit people living in the Kanowit area. However, the language is doomed to extinction. The t...

Last week the Raya and the Independence day falls in the same day, had a few days off. So I went to the Pandan beach with my fiends, and also for Raya visiting (yumm yum, I finally get to eat the satay). The top photographer Wilson Chin (me), this is the grocery shop just right next to the beach. This is a public beach, so there are a lot of people came here to spend their holiday. My parent use to bring us to the beach when I'm little, miss the old days. My friends :) Cheers, Wilson The water are very salty, and I can't really open my eyes when swimming :S
