Kampung Budaya Sarawak - part 2

Masih lagi di Kampung Budaya Sarawak....

Dari Rumah Penan, bergerak ke Rumah Orang Ulu, cantik rumahnya, berseni...

Ada ukiran-ukiran di tiang-tiang rumah...tangga rumah yang original, pokok kayu ditakik-takik menjadi tangga..susah oo mau naik dan turun..sebab tak biasa..

Di sini juga diraikan dengan tarian selamat datang diringi dengan petikan sape..

tarian dan petikan sape

 

"in the past, the Orang Ulu were famous throughout the region as sword-smiths. They extracted iron from the ore found in their area, they forged it into excellent blades which they tempered in the cold mountain streams"

Bergerak lagi, ke Rumah Melanau pula,..tinggi rumahnya..

  

"The Melanau build massive houses forty feet above the ground. The Melanau eat sago in preference to rice."

Penerangan tentang memproses sagu di bengkel di belakang rumah Melanau.

Dua rumah yang terakhir, Rumah Melayu dan Rumah Cina, biasa dilihat di semenanjung. Masa ni, semua ahli rombongan dah tak larat, dah pancit..just tengok macam-macam tu, singgah untuk cop passport je..

 

OK, dah habis cover semua rumah-rumah di sini, passport pun dah dicop..

Dah penuh

Dah hampir pukul 11.00 pagi, masa untuk menonton Cultural Show pula..bergerak ke teater. Persembahan Kebudayaan ialah tarian-tarian dari pelbagai kaum di Sarawak - orang Iban, Ulu, Bidayuh, Melanau dan Melayu.  Yang menarik ialah kepelbagaian pakaian tradisional kaum-kaum ni..

Bidayuh - Rajang Be'uh

 

"This dance is usually performed after the harvest season as a form of entertainment for guests of the longhouse. The movements of the dancers with outstretched hands imitate the movements of the eagles as they flap their wings in flight"

Melanau - Tarian Menyak

"This dance potrays the harmonious atmosphere showing as how the Melanau carry out their daily activities of processing sago flour for the making of sago pearls, locally known as 'Sago'"

Orang Ulu - Kanjet Ngeleput

 

"This dance potrays the nimble but stealthy steps of the warrior as he goes about on a hunting trip in the jungle, searching for his prey. He sees his target, takes aim and blows out a deadly dart which seldom fails to find its mark."

Orang Ulu - Datun Julud - welcoming dance at longhouse
