a short trip to Kapit. 3-hour journey by boat from the Swan City.
To be honest, kapit is a very small town with basic facilities. Those from the big city would find it ultimately boring- no entertainment whatsoever. Basic is the exact word to describe it. SugarBun is the only fastfood restaurant. It reminded me of Sri kembangan when we went out food hunting at night. Stalls with many selection of food which open daily from 5pm to 1am located at kapit Square. In the morning, there is this eating place called Gelanggang Kenyalang, which is a house of stalls (because the eating place is inside the building) where one can find all the food offered- Chinese, Malay, Iban. The specialty is the roti canai goreng-Not bad...
What is so endearing about Kapit?
The quiet and fresh environment, the open sky, the surprisingly clean town and the nature. Totally relaxing. Quite a treat to the mind actually. In the evening at about 6pm, kapit is cold, dark and gloomy. The exact feeling of being at the hillside of Ranau. The feeling of December. So refreshing. So moving. So peaceful. At once i feel at ease.
As we cruised home, i went outside the cabin-watched the green parade of vrigin jungle under the open sky: a thought crossed my mind-this is the precious thing that everybody is so eager to get rid of. For the last time taking in the scenery into my mind for safekeeping.Yes, i would love to come back again to experience the nature, especially the waterfall- lantai batu- as they called it.
Anyway, is there any chance for me to pass for Kumang Gawai?(Beauty Pageant in Iban)
Beautiful journey... (^________^)
