Thursday October 11

We all made it for the early start. It was snacks on the bus for breakfast! Travelled on Air Asia and they got us to the island of Borneo with no hitches or delays. We are in Sarawak (a state). We were still in Malaysia but had to go through passport control again. Hotel was great, they let us check in at 10 am, then we went for a coffee to keep us all awake for the remainder of the day. Off out for the afternoon to the Sarawak Cultural Village. It is a living history museum, and shows about 9 different ethnic tribes and the style of houses they lived in. Some of these tribes were head hunters and a couple of the buildings had (old) heads hung up! Also saw a demo of using the blow pipe darts, the guy was amazing - he hit his mark from about 40 feet. There was also dancing performances from all the tribes. Very colourful and entertaining. When they were looking for volunteers to join in, I'm afraid I looked the other way. Went out to a local restaurant for dinner and had an awesome Lemongrass Chicken.
