Following the day of jumping we visited an Iban longhouse at Bawang Assan. This became a highlight of the trip as the Iban people were so friendly and welcoming.
We sampled much of the home made rice wine while we were there.
The communities first boat race also took place that day.
The event is organised by the Malaysian BASE Association and local Sarawak BASE organiser Captain Wallen Alexander Gugak of Civil Aviation Sports. It is supported by Sarawak Tourism and and Pelita Towerview Sdn Bhd, the management of Wisma Sanyan.
