Transboundary Tourism

Of late, I've got many friend request on my Facebook and many of them are people whom I do not know but somehow connected to my online friends or Lun Bawang folks. However, I have to ignore few requests especially when I dont know you, but all you posted up on your profile pictures are weird pictures etc. I'm sorry if I ignored your requests despite your attempt of adding me many times. I dont mean to be rude or ignorant, but at least decent profile pictures of you would be nice so that I know who you are and not pictures of car, nose, back of your head etc. So, that explains why I didnt add you guys. :-)

Our recent assignment, developing transboundary tourism from Malaysia is quite a challenge and thanks to Formadat for sponsoring the trip to Krayan, Kalimantan.

Enjoy pictures below:



That's called Yupai Semaring's peak - Lun Bawang warrior in the past time.



Modernized Long Bawan - the administrative district of Krayan Selatan. It takes about only 1 1/2 hours ride on motorbike ride from Ba Kelalan to this place. Make sure you have the valid permit to enter Indonesia.



Zainal at work while Hellen enjoying the view.



View of Long Bawan from the top.



Hellen, Paulus and Zainal descending from the peak. It was very hot.



Opening procession, every location (village) will present different cultural items. I would say that, their items are complete as they gave their 'all out' just for this event.




Talun attire - The Lun Bawang's gear.
