Memories "float" with Pandaw cruise trips

Not many international travelers know where is Sarawak located? But they know Brunei, a little rich country. When we introduce Sarawak located at the third largest island in the world called Borneo Island, they said yes they have heard about Borneo but not Sarawak.

This is some of the familiar comments I heard when I chit chatting with the Pandaws passengers. I have to admit there lots of works need to be done and we need to promote Sarawak more extensively, especially through IT. It is proven that Pandaws have done it through IT and it is works.

Mr Brain from UK said that he has not been to this part of the country but as international traveler he relies on internet. What make him would like to come as joint the Pandaws cruise is that he would like to enjoy the local culture and nature. To him trip using local longboat and expressboat is amazing experience. “I never seen real human skulls but today I am holding it. I will treasure this experience.” Brain said.

As a local boy, I also enjoy the journey. I can see the smile in their face and relaxing enjoying reading the books. Not much complain except the heat. They trip to Iban longhouse, jungle trekking, boat cruising and relaxing at the riverbank is the most memorable experience for all of them. Some of them is planning to come back to Sarawak and spent more days here with more friends and families.
Who thought that "kerangan area" can be the most interesting area for relaxing and enjoying cold drink apart from local "manuk pansuh". The setting is ala Brooke era........
