-Day 4-
Heading to Sarawak Cultural Village & Damai Beach Resort....
Watched Twilight b4? Does this looks like Edward Cullen's house?
Pay a visit to Sarawak Cultural Village(SCV). You'll get to experience Sarawak in half a day at the living museum with a difference.
Welcome to SCV! Junne & Mei San posed excitedly while the rest gets the ticket.
Ticket to SCV. The entrance fee for adult is RM60 & child is RM30. Simply display your student card to get the privilege of RM15 for the entrance fee.
There are 7 unique traditional houses in the cultural village. It was an eye-opener to visit these unique houses as you get to experience the culture of the ethnic groups on Sarawak. A plank walk map is given as a guide for the visitation.
Traditional House #1: Chinese Farm House
The Chinese Farm House host was very friendly. She explained the life style of the people, the bird's nest process and even showed us the usage of the traditional stuff to us. Some of those traditional stuff weren't special to us as we can also found them in our house as well!
The traditional rice grinder & the bird's nest process.
Traditional House #2: Malay Town House
"Raja Sehari". From left, "Raja Sehari" yang bersopan-santun to the "Raja Sehari" yang langsung tidak bersopan-santun. 
Traditional House #3: Melanau Tall House
Melanau Tall Swing.
Try the Melanau Bamboo Dance. Follow the rhythm created by the bamboo sticks and step in between it. Gonna be quick in your movement or else your leg will be clamped by those bamboo sticks. I'd admit that I'm kinda clumsy in this dance!
Melanau Bamboo Dance
Traditional House #4: Orang Ulu Longhouse
Take a look at the traditional instruments and handicraft. Have fun playing with the xylophone as it produces wonderful melody.
Traditional instruments & handicraft
Traditional House #5: Penan Hut
The blowpipe shooting is available in the Penan Hut. However, there wasn't any host while we arrived there. Didn't get to watch the blowpipe shooting as well as the blowpipe making by the Penan warriors.
Processing Sago
Cultural Show @ Dewan Lagenda
The Iban Warrior looks kinda fierce but he was actually quite humorous. The blowpipe shooting performance was great!
Before the show ended, the audience were invited to join the performer to dance on stage as well.
Danced on stage
We continued to visit the Iban Longhouse after the Cultural Show.
Traditional House #6: Iban Longhouse
Traditional House #7: Bidayuh Longhouse
The cone shape of the Bidayuh longhouse was unique. Get to experience winnowing rice, pounding paddy and see some bamboo carve.
Pounding paddy & Bamboo carve.
The Bamboo Bridge
It took us some time to cross this bridge as there were quite a number of people crossing from the other side.
While crossing the bridge, Lovena accidentally dropped one of her slipper! OMG!!
Thank goodness we've Mei Fern which is tiny & brave enough to willingly go down and picked up the slipper for her.
Dropped by at the souvenir shop before leaving SCV. All of us enjoyed visiting those traditional houses & watching the cultural show, worth coming anyway!

Damai Beach Resort. It was only a few minutes drive from SCV.
Went swimming at the swimming pool uphill.
Lying on the bench, surrounded by the beautiful creation of God~
Get ourselves hit by the wave.
Playing with sand at the seaside.
The Forbidden KDSE had once visited this beach. Quickly snapped a picture b4 these words were vanished by the wave again..

Processing Sago Mustn't miss the Cultural Show at SCV. There are 2 shows at 11.30am - 12.15pm & 4-4.45pm. This is is the most interesting part of the visitation. Get yourself entertained by the cultural dances & performances.
