After getting married this year in the UK I thought, due to having roots in Sarawak, why not also have a wedding in Malaysia but in the traditional Iban way. A fascinating experience as Alice and I got to wear traditional outfits, shared out the local alcoholic drink called "tuak", and finally ended with the Iban dance called "ngagat". Our trip to Betong wasn't just for the wedding but also coincided with Gawai which is a type of harvest festival celebrated yearly. Lots of drinking and dancing was had during our time in Betong, Sawarak, and the photos can only give a slight insight of longhouse life.
