Photohunters theme: Steps
For this week’s theme I have chosen, this steps from an Iban longhouse. It is a plank with steps nailed in. Notice the chicken underneath the steps. It came because it saw me and was probably hoping for food. Notice also the water container. It is for washing the feet before ascending the steps.
The Iban longhouse where the photo was taken.
I was there for Christmas. It is a simple Christmas worship service but the Spirit of God is very much alive there.
I took the liberty of adding in a photo of some of the smiling children at the longhouse.They made us feel very welcome.
Steps from around the world! Thanks for sharing! The children are beautiful!!!
Happy Saturday, mine is up!
Interesting photos and story. My photos are up too!
I’m so glad you included the photo of the children! So sweet. Those steps look like they would be very hard to climb down!
That is an amazing group of photos, thank you for sharing them. Especially the last one, I’d have to say that is my favorite.
thats a very modern longhouse, nowadays still can find really traditional ones?
BB: New ones are concrete and look like terrace houses in Sibu now
a sign of the improving economy compared to the past
I don’t think that I would do very well with those steps being the uncoordinated klutz that I am! I bet those happy children have no problems scrambling up and down, though!
Those are very narrow steps and where’s the bannister. I’d be killing the chicken as I fell off.

Steps to enjoy J.CO Donuts. It’s the best donuts here, MUCH better than Dunkin’ Donuts and Krispy Kreme. I don’t own any of their outlet, neither my friends and relatives, so just trust me My favorite are Cheese Me U…
Lovely photos. Happy weekend.
What a wonderful and colorful building. And the children are absolutely adorable!
Great post - and pictures. Thanks for visiting!
Some might find it scary to step on such staircase, especially those who wear high heels
oh yeah.. I have taken shots of the longhouse staircase in Kampung Benuk in the past..
That’s a nice variation from all the steps for humans I have seen this morning ! Very good idea ! and I also love the picture of these joyful children !
That’s a much more modern and cleaner looking long house than the ones I visited on my thus far only visit to Sarawak…with only the steps looking rather make-shift!
Lovely photos! Cool shot for the photo of the steps.
I wish we had made it to a longhouse while we were in Sarawak. We stayed in Kuching for only 3 days and just ran out of time… Next time!
What great photos!! Thanks for sharing.
Happy Weekend!
Wow, what a cool set of steps. And I also love all the other shots as well. A really lovely post!
Hi bengbeng.
and lived in a kampung, I used to walk on this type of wooden steps to our chicken house. It was wobbly and narrow, but it was fun. 
When I was younger (about
Thanks for visiting me. What a terrific set of photos. I appreciate seeing the building, and children, associated with it.
What a lovely choice for the theme! I find it fascinating to see such places around the globe, and I especially liked the photograph of the smiling children ..
Have a terrific weekend!
Cool photos and now I know what a long house is.
Those pictures are fantastic! The long house has a fabulous colour on the walls
What a great take on the theme and beautiful children as well. Thank you for visiting us and have a great weekend ;).

Very cool steps indeed. It’s always great to be in a service where you can feel how alive the spirit is! Plus, the kids are beautiful! Thanks!
I like the first picture. It’s steep though and too narrow. But we have the same kind in the Philippines used for boarding small boats.
Great photos and I did not know what a long house was - I love learning about new places..take care and happy Saturday:)
We still have structures like these in the Philippines. Lovely photos!
Gulp, can someone please hold my hand? Scary la.
Wow, those steps would be hard to navigate! Great photos!
I am thankful that I do not have to climb steps like that to get into my house. Yikes! Thanks for such an interesting post and for stopping by Pollywog Creek.
That is so different, and really interesting too. I love the children!
Thanks for visiting earlier

Blessings to your weekend.
Great pictures!

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. And the children look so sweet.
Very interesting pics! love the smiling children
Happy weekend
Interesting steps. I think I would need a little assistance going up and down from those narrow steps. Thank you for visiting. Take care!
I love that picture of the children.
I would be going up those steps on all fours and praying every inch of the way! Terrific post. I really love the faces of the children.
What a beautiful and moving post. Thank you so much for the photos and commentary. (You can ask our advice for underwear any time: thanks, also, for those pics!
Those steps are definitely not for the timid of heart! Haha…
Lovely kids!
Wuching, the traditional ones STILL DO exist.. the further they are from the cities, the more traditional they are (and frugal).
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing something new.
Love your choice for Steps theme this week. The photo of the children is adorable. I’ll stick to a staircase with railing unless there is a net beneath me, thank you.
I like your photos. Going down those steps requires attention. Thanks for visiting
Nice collection of steps! Those kids are so cute!
Thanks for stopping by mine
I love the step theme this week. Thumbs up on the undies too!
Interesting steps. Looks like quite a place. The children are beautiful!
wow, thank you for that.
ah beng, WOw. Do we walk up the steps, or climb up? ^-^
BB: we walk up..a little scary at first, it is jus a matter of balance
Great picture - It reminds many of us to appreciate what we have and to cherish every child every where - thanks for stopping by.
