Today, I went to Serikin after visiting some Bidayuh's houses with my family.
You know, Serikin is the place that is in the Bau area. So, if your car was stolen, you'll most probably find it on the way to Serikin, gunning towards Indonesia. Why? Coz Serikin is at the edge of Indonesia...
Like any poorer foreign countries, those immigrants come here to milk potential ang-mor money... and the likes of us...
Well, the stores are as far as I can see when I stoped there...
Its bout 0.8-1.4km long, filled with made in China/Jakarta items, icluding FAKE Rolexes (Found anywhere in Malaysia), FAKE Adidas, Nike, Billabong, Chicken-bone shirts, FAKE sport shoes, FAKE perfumes (come from Pek Mor..), FAKE everything...
[All fake, if it includes any brand..]
[*cheveux gris is french for grey hair... The cheap perfumes' origin]
Hey!!! Feels like walking in Petaling Street... Except, the shopkeepers speak Hakka instead of Cantonese... -.-" [Its very weird to listen to La Kias speak Hakka...]
Anyways, its not that much like Petaling Street coz there's no RM3-5 VCDs and RM7-11 DVDs. But, there is some very original Rotan chairs and tables and satelite dish replacements... Ahahahaz...
And, there are sotongs, dried. Priced from RM9-20, depending on the size and your bargaining skills...
Here are some other products that are on sale...
[Hats, songkoks and FAKE helmets..]
[Soft-toys that are hopefully not filled with used-toilet paper...]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway, when you go and visit a Dayaks place, they'll give you something called Lemang. Its gluttonous rice with cocoanut milk and pandan leaf in a bamboo stick. Well, too much is too much...
