Rumah Panjang (Longhouse) I

Aba (second from right- in disguise) drove us 4 hours to a river bank...
.. along the way I came across this toilet, complete with auto-enematic function...
We boarded a longboat and headed up river on THE best boat ride ever. The swift high water carried big logs and trees down its course. Our driver skillfully avoided these obstacles as well as many a whirl pool and rocky riverbank. The monsoon rain beat down upon us and the overhanging jungle grasped at our relatively little wooden boat as it powered up the trecherous churning highway.
At the Iban (tribe) Longhouse (one of the last all-wooden traditional longhouses in the area) we were greeted with a traditional dance.
...then partoked in traditional bamboo bongs.
