Return to Similajau @ Samalaju

Exactly one year since our last visit, we returned to Similajau (now renamed to Samalaju), Bintulu, over the weekend to conduct a concise water quality study of the area. We were amazed, how many things have changed throughout the course of the year, with many pre-developmental activities taking place. We also took the time to visit our friends in Kg. Kuala Nyalau, that is home to our ever faithful boatman, Pak Dolah. He told us that if we had come a bit later, about one week from now, we could have joined in, on the local festivities of "makan besar" that is going to be held there. The festival is a local tradition, held annually.
