    Hmmm… I just wondered what fish is that? Empurau? I still planning to go to Sarawak for Empurau :)

    I caught that fish a few weeks ago. It is called ikan senangin. It is not expensive but put up a good fight. It hid and entangled itself under the jetty. Emurau i haverheard is currently very expensive and in the hundreds due to overwhelming demand.

  7. goolooloo says:

    wah BB since when u took so many pics huh?

    since i learned the love of photography from you :)

  8. Chen says:

    It’s easy to find foreign flags here as there are so many foreign embassies from different countries, but not in smaller towns. But u r creative to come up with such an idea for the Indonesian flag :)

    The indonesian flag was easiest as basically it was just red and white :)

  9. Mei Teng says:

    What do they taste like? The looks of them squirming is enough to turn me off…esp the big fat ones…urrgh.

    One has to get rid of the initial revulsion to savor the worm ;)

  10. molly says:

    The worm are fat. Must be juicy, did you try?

    it tastes wonderful a mixture of linseed oil and chicken taste :)

  11. melli says:

    Ohhhhh you did WELL! I would NOT take fat juicy worms for a souvenir! Nope… not THIS American girl! LOL! But I LOVE your Buddhist Temple! I don’t guess your fire department was much help for a few days, huh? Your beach shot is positively gorgeous – and that carving in AMAZING! Very nice!

  12. Janice says:

    Great selection that shows us so much about life in your part of the world. My favourites are the water shot and cooking rice in bamboo.
