Sarawak

As you all know Sarawak is a part of Malaysia except it is separated by natural causes.

Sarawak is combined with Sabah. After i left Australia, i lived in Sarawak from 2004 until 2009 which was 9 years. Before this i lived in Sarawak when i was 6 years old. So the total years i lived in Sarawak was 11 years.

On my first day in school i was shocked by the classroom in Malaysia compared to Australia. There was a total difference. The classroom, the surroundings and the language was also different. Over here the rules are more strict and they even have uniforms. We have to carry tons of kilo's in our bag pack. At first i was not very comfortable and i needed to adapt to the situations. It took a while to get use to it.

When i entered the class everyone stared at me and asked me a lot of questions. It was very hard for me to understand. This is because they have a unique language that is different from Malay. It took me about four month to speak their language and understand it. From my talking they can tell that i am not a Sarawakian. 

When you say Sarawak, people think it as a jungle or a forest and you wear loincloth and there is no city. Well, Sarawak is a native country. Native rule the land before Malay entered and develop the country into a city. It may not be as developed as Kuala Lumpur but it is more closely to it. The native still exist but the native nowadays are more developed. Sarawak is a city that are well developed. Not many forest are there now as logging are increasing to build more buildings.

When visiting Sarawak you have to try their layered cake. This cake is layered with a lot of layer and has different kind of taste. It needs skills to make this. Therefore every time visiting Sarawak, people would often purchase this layered cake.

This is an example of layered cake :)
