Today, my family and I went to Serikin. Sis and me never been there so this gonna be our first.
It was a long trip. It felt like were were going back to Sarikei. Mountains and trees decorate most of the view. There were houses as well. Since I never use Bau road, I discovered a lot of kampung(s) that I never heard before. The kampung(s) reminded me of my own kampung 10 years ago. I mean, the surroundings were very cool and you can see clouds on top of the mountain. My kampung on the other hand, feels like the city nowadays. Even the stream almost dries up.
Anyway, I also saw SMK Lake along the way. The school was very secluded (its surrounded by forest). It must be very cold at night ^^ I also find their students' dormitories unique. Its very different from the dorms you find in the city.
Serikin is located between Sarawak and Kalimantan border but Serikin belongs to Sarawak's territory. Hence, the nearer we drove, the more frequent police and customs were in sight. An hour later, we reached the destinated place. There were so many people! :O Fortunately, the weather was perfect. Its not too hot :D
The things being sold were cheap (...not really) but you can bargain. This is the time where you learned and sharpen your bargaining skills. I managed to get a good deal for Mommy's food steamer :)
I love the fabrics they sold at Serikin. Its pretty but unfortunately I didn't bought any since I can't get a good bargain for it :/ I'll try again on my next visit.
In the end, we bought some stuff. Daddy bought dried squids and a pair of sandal. Mommy bought a handbag and a food steamer while Sis bought a pair of sandal. Me, I bought a pashmina and a pair of sandal too. On our way back, Mommy and I bought spicy tapioca chips :)
