This a souvenior shop that my driver sent us to when we wanted to but handicrafts. My advice is DONT BUY!! I did buy a few stuffs since he told us that Main Bazaar will be expensive, luckily I just stick to a few stuffs. You can get most of the stuffs at Main Bazaar at much lower prices.You are require to sit through a 10 minutes video on the stuffs they sell, bird's nest and some other herbs. IF u can, just avoid this place unless you want some bird's nest.

Cultural Village in Damai

by Tommiandtanja

About a 40 minutes drive from Kuching center, at Damai Peninsula you can see traditional Borneo-style houses built around a small lake. The Cultural Village is closely related to Disneyland, as a kitsch danceshow is included in the entrance fee. If you got time, go for the real thing and visit a real Long House!
