Working in Sarawak there is a festival not to be missed. Gawai festival aka Harvest Festival for the locals.
The actual day is 1st and 2nd of June each year, however the celebration usually takes up to one week. And as the local Dayaks contribute to half of Sarawak's population, you can rest assured that not much work will be achieved during the week. Even local food stalls are closed due to shortage of labour.
People go back to their long houses and celebrate with food and booze, it is a happy festival. Me? stuck in a small cabin looking at my deserted site. At night go out with friends for a few beers.
Festival don't really excite me anymore. I need a life!
