LONG ATIP CHRISTMAS 08

It was a wonderful Christmas 2008. We have spend sometime in Long Atip Village during the Christmas. It always been a wonderful trip. It took us 6 hours from Miri's city to Long Atip using 4X4 vehicle of road. A relaxation retreat from the hustle of a city life. Long Atip is a Kayan village.

The picture below is Kampung Long Atip with the modern facilities such as satelite phone, satelite TV, electric generator, water filter system, church, and school.

On our way across the river using the hanging bridge. Our vehicle are waiting for us to take us to Long Bemang Village about 2 hours driving distance.


Our uncle who carve the traditional string instrument called Sape and he play the sape very well.
Hanging at the back of him are some of his work for sales. The sape cost between Ringgit Malaysia 8oo to a few thousand.
