RH Buli Sg Semanok

RH Buli is a very quiet small Iban long house
by the Semanok riverside
about 150 meters from the sea
and 40 km by road from Bintulu.

 



Semanok rivermouth.







Tilted old house.



Vegetables ready for sale at the Bintulu Market.



This long house is one of the few in Bintulu
where every household  still practice animism
something quite rare in a modern world nowadays
as most have already embraced christianity.



A plate of offering.



RH Buli longhouse.
