Just got back from Lundu, from the exposure trip Mdm Stella and I organised for the Lasallian delegates.
The trip there and back on the bus was uneventful, but it was our experiences there that truly made a big difference in our lives.
We went to Kampung Sebako in Lundu, with our guide, Mr Steven. The village was approximately 5 km from the heart of Lundu, and there is no phone coverage for any of the service providers unless you go out to the street and wait for ten minutes. But all's good ^^
The delegates were divided into three houses, with each of them learning the way of life of the family that takes them in. Some went to tap rubber, some went to pick corn, and some went to pluck ferns.
But before all that, we were ushered into the home of Mr Steven's Aunt, who was organising a housewarming gathering at her home

wow, seen like very interesting~ this Lundu from which state?
Lundu in Sarawak rite, ever heard bout it...anywhere interesting places you can recommend me for my 3rd visit to kuching in march 2008? I think Lundu is quite far from the city rite..nyway, you do have a great time there, when you pay a visit to Sabah, you should try water rafting..it really strikes me though..:)

well, there's nothing much to shop for in Kuching, but we DO have lots of interesting places to visit. Why don't you let me know when exactly you're coming over to visit, so that I can arrange some fun activities for you? =) I'd love to bring you on interesting sight seeing

No, I don't believe so..there are even no more fish in the river, as there have been illegal logging there, as well as pollution of the river. Sad isn't it?
