Long Seridan - Long Naring - Long Sugan 7-13 FEB2005

We fly separately into Long Seridan from Miri due to limited seat. April and me took the flight to Marudi and waited for the 2nd flight from Miri to Long Seridan with WLF and Benyi on board.
In Long Seridan we met Angoi and Joyce. After a chat, we decided to go to Long Naring to stay for 2 nights with the Penans. The pictures tell it all. Some Penans words that April Tan wrote in the notebook.
First is the names of the residents here in L Napir;
Buduk Kusin, Malang Tok, Lin Wee, Kone' Betok, Asok We'e, Asik Nyelit,the poison man of "Voice of the Borneo Rainforest". Juna Tok, Jackie We'e, Den Pan, Berlari Ayu.
