Inside view of Rungus Longhouse

No, they don’t have skull hanging on the ceiling, if you’re asking by the way.

I post few photos on the outside view of the longhouse few days back, and felt that by separating the outside and inside view of the longhouse would be better for viewers to visualize the place.

Guess what? This is the only part of the whole place that is NOT traditional. Toilet. Unless you want their original type of toilet… Which you may need to ask Mr. Maranjak to show you!
