Day 1 KK

From Red Dot to Senai airport. Nice bench at the MerryBrown outlet at the airport. Nuah-ing while waiting for the 730am flight.


First shot in KK. Took Air Asia flight. Now everyone can fly!


The plane at Senai 0720hrs


The cultural village. Some hero guy named Monsopiad killed like 42 other tribe leaders and kept their skulls as momentos.


The village rock that supposedly has a spirit guarding the people.


Entrance to the skull place


Bird on a roof. The city wet market


At the village again, grinding rice to make powder to make rice wine.


Bats outside the sull house


Cakes of yeast and distillation equiptment for the wine making (tapai)


The vat for fermenting


There is this new law that says you can't behead your enemies now. So the people killed monkeys instead.


Blowpipe. fun.


Slingshot. Harder than blowpipe.


Terror Teren Killed the monkey!


The guide walking on poles. None of us managed to do it.


Teren with the weapon


We killed everything on the styrofoam, including the tree branch


Heaving sago to get powder to make sago flour.


Sago worms!


Yummy!


I just realized the photos are in very weird order. will rectify it tomorrow.
This is Teren trying to look mean.


Chewed up worm. Proof that I am eligible for the next fear factor round.


yeah, yeah, mum did tell me not to waste food.


Fooling around a suspension bridge


Some weird stools used for wedding ceremonies.


Groupie


Swan song


Kingfisher on the bridge. Chased away later by our laughter.


Cultural performances. This is the harvest dance.


This is the dance where you get your feet cut off.


We escaped unhurt


This is some other dance with this guy screeching 'yeeh' every few seconds.


coins as belts


This is the prettiest lady of them all.


Another groupie


Our lodging in town. Trekkers Lodge. Not bad.


Sunset at the esplanade



The whole row of birds looking for fish at the nearby sea


The market. one section just for shoes.


Roadside fresh produce hawkers.


First meal in KK: burger king. Check out the mountain of fries.


Two kids climbing up the market roof.


This overhead bridge connects 5 rows of shophouses to the market and a nearby shopping complex. Longest overhead bridge I've ever seen.
