Tattooed World

Today brings an adventure through lush greens under skin piercing sun, finding ourselves inside long houses, testing our hands on traditional musical instruments, getting inked like a local . . . you name it! Our third and last day at Sarawak was a true 360 Borneo experience. The idea of housing Rainforest World Music Festival in the cultural village itself is just brilliant. Once again, big thanks to AirAsia and Sarawak Tourism Board for such marvelous travel + experience opportunity. Photo diary below!
