went to mukah, sarawak via bintulu recently (20 - 26jan) for aswara's theater faculty coalition with petrosains at sekolah kebangsaan dua sungai, mukah. they did a stint with the school children on penggunaan sains dalam teater sekolah2. our team was more on the documentation of d research on d arts among the melanau(s) in the area. from bintulu it was a bumpy (very gym like) 4hour ride (2hour just on the bumpy 51km!!!) but to my surprise....mukah is a modern town n wired!!! u can get wifi access anywhere!!! buat malu org semenanjung aje. we recorded quite a few events during the documentation and discovered some pleasant items along the way. dabai, a dates look-a-alike are to be soaked in warm water before melantak, the process of preparing sagu, tabaloi n ulat..ooppss (go to you tube) but were really mesmerised by the serene beauty of its culture. hoping for more such trips
and again....gambau not in order hehehe
