Anah Rais (Bidayuh) Longhouse




























The visit to Anah Rais Longhouse of the Bidayuh people took place on the 12 December. The welcoming drink of rice wine tasted sweet and light. The place is the ancestral home of the Bidayuh people for 200 years. One could not fail to notice the absence of youths in the village. Most of them went to the city for work. Thus only the old people and children were left in the village.
One unforgetable sight was the children swimming along the flow of the river water without any care in the world. This type of childhood experience could never be replicated in the city.
