Started my early morning journey to 
Kampung Serasot, which is one of the many bidayuh villages in
Bau District.  Herlina and I drove for almost an hour to reach our destination with heavy mists 
along the 44km road from home.
It was indeed a pleasant arrival with such warm welcome that led me to some 
bidayuh experiences and cultures.

  | 
| First and foremost, the leaf needs to be flamed first to make the folding and wrapping easier |
