Last Day of #rtanjungputingtravelog.
07:28. We had fried rice and egg as our breakfast, with ultra sweet orange syrup that I couldn't affort to drink it.
We also tried to eat our comfort food: pop mie, and also other snacks, so we didnt have to bring them to Jakarta. In the end, we gave some of the remaining untouched food to the crews.Such a good breakfast experince.
09:42. Heading to Kumai. The water is not black anymore. and well, back to civilization, phone signal, and real life. Wait, it's kinda irony when I wrote real life. Does that mean the forest that I just visited wasnt real? Or I was just too naive and segregate between my usual daily life and wildlife, while they are actually interconnected in a way. Since forest is one of the core supports for our life, whether we wholeheartedly conscious about it or not.
10:35 Arrived at Desa Adat Pasir Panjang, Pangkalan Bun, where inhabited by Dayak Pasir Panjang tribe.
This village was located around 15 mins from thr airport. Btw, I didn't feel like I was in a village. Perhaps there were houses around there somewhere.
Anyway, this is inside Rumah Betang, where few families were lived in.
Okay, the next paragraphs are taken from Indonesia Tourism web article. I know my English is far from perfect, but this is another different level, wk.
Usually, Betang built in rather big size with about 30-150 meter length, 10-30 meter width and the mast about 3-5 meter height. Betang built using high quality wood, the ironwood.
This wood can stand over hundreds of years and anti termite. This is the real best wood.
Betang House common inhabited by 100-150 people and you may imagine how crowded inside. Betang can be said as tribe house because it led by a Pambakas Lewu (the tribe leader). Inside, you will meet several rooms that inhabited by each families.

Last pic: Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil, See No Evil.
Betang has its unique points that can see from the elongated shape and there are only a staircase and entrance into the Longhouse. The stair which is used for enter to the Longhouse called 'hejot'.
Betang has built in high position from the ground in order to avoid the trouble things for residents of the Longhouse, include avoiding enemies that can come suddenly, wild animals, or floods that sometimes hit the Longhouse. Almost all betang can be found on the outskirts of major rivers in Kalimantan.
