Yesterday, I went to Gawai (native culture) Carnival with my parent and friends. Gawai Carnival was on the way to Bau ( Bau means smelly in english -> those who don’t know the meaning of it). I also not sure why that place called Bau. I assume it was a smelly place so people called that place as Bau. Kekeke…

Malaysia have lots of races like chinese, malay, indians, iban, bidayu and others. Sarawak have the most bidayu natives but not for indians. So, sarawak celebrated Hari Gawai but not deepavali.

Here are some example photos how the native life style.

These are the photos:
