SELAMAT ANDU GAWAI DAYAK ( BIDAYUH )

SELAMAT HARI GAWAI DAYAK ( MALAY )

HOOOOOOOOO, HA ! ( EXCLAIMED )

CELEBRATED ON EVERY 1ST AND 2ND JUNE IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA.

IT IS A THANKSGIVING FESTIVAL MARKING THE GOOD RICE HARVEST AND FOR A BETTER FARMING SEASON. DAYAKS ARE VERY GOOD TRADITIONAL FARMERS AND YOU SHOULD EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF. UP AND DOWN THE HILLS BEFORE YOU REACH YOUR FARM. IF YOU'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH, YOU MIGHT END UP SLEEPING AND RESTING ONCE YOU REACH YOUR FARM. ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET! NO MODERN VEHICHES AND VERY BIG BASKETS CARRIED BEHIND YOUR BACK, UP AND DOWN THE HILLS FOR THE RICE. THE WOMEN ARE VERY STRONG BUT VERY HUMBLE.

NO MATTER HOW MODERN THEY LIVE IN THE CITY, THEY WILL STILL GO BACK TO THE VILLAGE TO FARM IN THE WEEKENDS
.
THE SAME TO THOSE WHO HAVE RETIRED. BACK TO FARMING.
