Kota Kinabalu trip - Day 5 (last day)
We visited the Mari-mari Cultural Village on our very last day in KK..
It took us about an hour to reach there.
There's quite a lot of rules and regulations before we can get into the village.

That's a very cool waterfall as it's meant for vehicles to use on that platform

The 1st traditional tribe house that we enteredDusun

The girl showed us how to make the traditional type of rice wine


Traditional Musical Instrument

Traditional Kitchen

Then it's the chance for the tourist to try on making food by mixing any kind of ingredient together

Then they'll cook it for us in the bamboo and serve for us during our lunch in the cultural village

Ah man simply mixing any ingredient

Then we proceed to another station where they served us the real pure honey
