After visiting Orang Hutan, we proceed to Longhouse.

It took us about 30min drive to reach this place from Semenggoh Orang Hutan.

This is the front view of the long house entrance.

They use bamboo to build their houses as well as using bamboo for cooking and boiling water. The long house look pretty modern now, unlike old time. Some houses are nicely renovated with modern look too. Some houses even have Astro and China Channels programs (Don’t know how to call it. Mind you, the china channels program is illegal in East Malaysia but LEGAL in WM.

Finally my girls can see lot of cats here. They are so happy and keep chasing and touching them.

In this long house, we can see 2 houses operated as a grocery shops. This is one of them.

The headhouse or Ruman Panggah - where they keep their enemy’s head as victory items during old time. The house owner invite us to visit the headhouse but I dare not climb up and enter it. Timid me. After some walking, our tour guide said Edward wants (he run a home stay concept business there) to treat us his herbal drink and fresh pineapple as desserts. How nice of him ya! The herbal drink is nice coz I can smell some fragrance smell like pandan leaf.
Saw some big coconut lying on the floor, ask him open 2 for the girls. Wow, so nice to drink coconut water in this hot weather. So cooling.

Edward also entertain us with his musical instrument, CLICK HERE to view the short clip.

If you wish to experience home stay in this long house, you may visit Edward home page at http://longhouseadventure.com/. The price he offers is very reasonable too. Hubby and I went to visit his guest rooms, looks ok and the toilet is exactly like our modern toilet. Check out his site now. Free advertising for Edward since he is a very friendly and spotting guy to us. Thanks for your short hospitality while we are there.Approximate 2 hours walking in Annah Rais long house, a new experience to us too. After this we back to hotel to have a short nap, coz I wish to explore Sarawak Satok market at night.
