many has thou especially teachers, and government servants, my dad used to live in a longhouse when he was posted to Sarawak in the 80's. During that day it was way more authentic and more brutal then this one and some old man during that time was still head hunting illegally, there are several stories where he kidnapped neighbouring longhouse kids and decapitated them and then drink their blood.
I had traveled very extensively throughout rural Sarawak; the upper Baram, upper Rejang, and Btg Ai. I find the Iban to be the most friendly and welcoming among of all the local natives.
🙌🏻🙌🏻 Seconder to that! We just had a Huge Gawai celebration last night @ a hotel resort with All the Ibans, Bidayuh, Dayak, fellow friends from Peninsular + Expats attending the wonderful and amazing celebration held by my Friendly Iban President neighbour! Ohhhh haaaah!🥃🥃👍🏻🤪
@@joycetan4684 they have learned a lot from the "ngayau"/war culture, hence it makes them what they are right now. I used to see a burial ceremony of the skull because the owner didnt want to keep it anymore. Two of the skull was a young kids. Thats how vicious their ancestors used to be. I mean not only the iban, all the dayak tribes are vicious generally speaking. Btw, iban bidayuh and urang ulu are all dayak. U can use just dayak to represent them all.
Seriusly guys.. Not many Malaysian have experince live in real rumah panjang.. U guys are so lucky... This is really something new guys... What a great experince.. Steve, u are the man!
You are really good at getting along with the people of Rumah Panjai. I still remember when I was a child, a group of tourists from Germany came to visit our longhouse in Tinjar. So Tuai Rumah told my father to do the Orang Ulu dance. As my father screamed and jumped, one of the tourists was shocked and had a heart attack. That night they had to take him to Miri hospital. The next day, they could not continue the activities we had prepared. But after a few weeks later, they sent various gifts and appreciation as a sign of gratitude.
During the ngajat at one point the dancer make a sudden & deafening, shocking yell a war cry. In the old days it's to shock & frighten the enemy. In one exhibition the tourist ran away when the yell/war cry was executed.
That is how the Iban hospitality when a tourist visit the longhouse in Sarawak. They are very friendly. There are also many modern longhouse that you will feel shock and surprised when you enter the house
As an Iban myself, one thing you should need to know when drinking with us is when some of us can automatically speak in English language even though don't have any education background. Don't believe it? Try ask the drunken Iban when you drink with them 🤣
What an experience!! Thank you for taking us along on your travels. My eyes are opening up, Learning so much from you both. Keep safe, healthy and happy.
Dianne Greig yes, you must be so proud of yr son & Ivana. They truly are not only adventurous but kind people❤. Salute to you JLW. God bless and keep safe.
Hope Steve and Ivana enjoy and learned a lot about Sabah & Sarawak (Borneo) culture and its people. The faces, arts and crafts, foods and the geography. The long house remind me when I was in Sibu in late 2011 to 2013. That's was a good memories. Ohh, I'm Sabahan by the way 😎 Hello to brothers and sisters over there Sarawak 🙋🏻♂️
Dayak ngaju tribe here 👋. Actually before longhouse, dayak built smthing like normal house. But because the raised conflict and headhunting, more and more people built longhouse to protect each other. And they built it very high like 3-4 meters, and everynight take the stairs up, so it's very hard to go up to the inside house. It's all in the past
Welcome to my hometown ❤️ I am of Kayan and Iban roots and I love both my cultures ❤️ Went back for Gawai last month and got super emotional when I have to go back to KL 🥲
Hehe..u know what steve.. Iban people consume tuak to boost their confident ..if they meet outsider especially foreigners..normally they (iban that live deep inside the jungle) dont speak english but after drink tuak automatically they can understand foreign languages..they will be super nice and friendly to everyone 😂😂
the thing I like the most about your videos are u always have a chat with people talking to them respectfully. I really enjoyed watching your videos. and I like the way u laugh, it makes me laugh too. pure reaction from u guys. Im a sabahan btw
Awesome! So glad to read this comment! Sometimes when we make our videos - we are confident they will get lots of views. Other experiences, such as this one, don't necessarily garner lots of attention on social media, but they are so incredibly enjoyable for us, that we never miss an opportunity like this. We really enjoyed out time at the longhouse. Incredible memory :)
Good job....well done....to you both Steve & Ivana...!! Love your video and I admire your determination to explore and experience the authentic lifestyle of the Iban tribe and visit the longhouse...!! Super amazing...!! I'm a local Sarawakian from Kuching myself....but I've yet to explore the areas around Batang Ai. The boatride is soooo cool...!! 💪👍😁
That was great!! thanks for visiting & learning my tribe culture. 🙁 this trip remind me of late Anthony Bourdain (correct me if i am spelling it wrong) he visit my uncle for the second time at the rural area upstream the Skrang River and promise to return again but a year later he was departed peacefully.. RIP 🙁
@@JetLagWarriors yes.. the longhouse in Betong District at Skrang River (quite familiar for western tourist too). about 70km from the place that you have visited.. if you drive north, you will pass by Betong District

Steve, the Ibans aren't the largest Dayak ethnic in Borneo but they are definitely the largest one in Sarawak. 😅 Now that you have stayed at an Iban longhouse, next... do try the traditional costume. I grew up at a small town not far from that jetty... downriver from there - Engkilili (I'm not from that area though). If I remember correctly, Batang Ai dam is Sarawak's first big dam... Back in the days, the people from upriver had to use the boat and walked long hours to get to the nearest town (Lubok Antu). That is also where the schools are... which means kids stayed at school dormitories for education. If in Serbia they sell something like the langkau for 300 dollars, it's about rm25 per bottle locally.
@@JetLagWarriors, I wish I could have you try the langkau made by someone my family knows in the kampung (maybe ping me and see if things can be arranged...). The quality of langkau and tuak all depends on the locally made yeast ("ragi") and the hands that made them. My aunties made tuak for sell but they sell "mature" tuak which is not less than 6 months old (some are made during the MCO). "Mature" tuak aren't cloudy... which is why I was a bit disturbed by the one you guys were drinking. My other half liken good quality tuak to a dessert wine or equivalent to sherry. 😊 Maybe if we meet in KL, we still have a bit you guys can try. One half bottle of old tuak... a few years old (probably from our wedding) and the colour is like that of whiskey. 😉
I was raised in a long house in 4th Division upper river of Tinjar in Baram District. An Orang Ulu- Kenyah modern long house. Our tradition is similar. Glad you pass that powerful welcome 'drink'..😅💪 Enjoy the stay Steve n Yvonne

four days a month I go there for a vlog .many interesting places there .not far from there near the border of malaysia and indonesia .10 km if I'm not mistaken I'm from pasar lubuk antu to the border

A fellow Sibu folk. It's my birthplace too, and Kampung Datuk was my (mom's) village. Though didn't spend long there before my family moved to Kuching because my father got transferred there.
@@AlexSDU Hi Alex, I was raised at Sg Merah Power Station (now dismantled) at Teku there. We used to live at quarters downhill there which is still there.
Mystery of the land : the natives of Borneo didn't know archery but blow pipes, yet nearby islands like Pabua new guinea natives are excellent archers . During colonization ,the Brits paid close attention to the weapons used by natives , but only one sighting of bow and arrow was recorded by an officer around Sungai Undup area , and was ' as a toy played by a native boy' . . Another case was an British officer on a riverboat was attacked by arrows near Balikpapan on the other side of the island ,but it was not confirmed. Archery as one of British important sport, was never encouraged in the school's in this colony , for the obvious reason.
New subscriber. You and your wife looked like they got you both hammered haha. Great video. I had a dream a while ago about walking down some halls just like this longhouse. It is wild because I never knew this even existed! Thanks Julie and Jerry

I worked at batang ai clinic from 2021-2022. During that time, due to the lack of doctor in the rural area, i had to visit lots of longhouses and rural clinics by boat. It was a great memory.
in Sabah the murut long house in Kampung Tataluan, Sapulot District . the murut still live in the traditional long house & tomorrow I'm going there to celebrate 2nd year of Customary School .
After this come to Kuching Borneo Highland again, go to the hotspring annah rais, Kura-kura homestay, and kayak semedang. You can enjoy nature, you can enjoy the river water and meet people of Bidayuh (second largest tribe after Iban).

I worked at batang ai clinic from 2021-2022. During that time, due to the lack of doctor in the rural area, i had to visit lots of longhouses and rural clinics by boat. It was a great memory.
