Marudi, March 2011

In these days, I visited Marudi to meet an old friend.

The Miri-Marudi road was opened a few years ago. The lands along the road has been converted in oil palm plantations at high speed.

The Baram river, near Marudi.

Now is a harvesting season.

We went an oxbow lake near Marudi to find fishes.

An oil palm plantation is already opened 1km far from the lakeside.

Now is a rubber boom also.

A new business, swiftlet farming. They just started to try.
