Malaysian Borneo


After 7 weeks traveling around peninsula Malaysia, we have arrived in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. There is a big celebration on the way as locals gear up to celebrate Merdeka(Independence) Day on the 31 August.

There will be cultural shows, fireworks, air-shows and parades to celebrate Independence Day (Hari Merdeka) in Malaysia on August 31. Next year is bound to be even bigger as it will be 50 years since independence. There is also the upcoming Borneo Cultural Festival. This is taking place in Sibu during September, and will include a Traditional Food Fair.
