We visited the village where the Rungus people lives, in Kudat, Sabah.
In the past, the Rungus people were known for their powerful black magic, making gongs, and beads.
While many no longer practice black magic, the traditions of making gongs and beading are still alive. They are also the only tribe in Sabah who still lives in a longhouse.
It was interesting to learn more about their culture, traditions, and the purpose of the longhouse.
We even slept overnight, and had an interesting and humbling experience.
Check out our vlog!
Location: Bavanggazo Rungus Longhouse, Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia

Steve, many Dayak ethnics in Sarawak still live in longhouses. Some have been rebuilt using modern materials. Some of the longhouses were built from ironwood... latest rebuilding would usually dated early 1900 like the one my maternal grandmother is from. They have a community fb page.

Wow! This is an awesome vlog showcasing the culture of the tribes in Sabah! This is something all Sabahan should be proud of because your culture is unique.

This is definitely up there as one of my many favourite videos. Keep safe, healthy and happy. :_thereyou:

Can't believe I can watch 44 minutes of the vlog today. It's like a mini movie!

Look forward to watching it later. TQ. There r many tribes in Sabah n Sarawak that people in Malaysia have yet to learn about their existence. Tourism documentaries n vlogs r certainly one of d best ways to know them.

in the olden days it was made from clay and glass in ancient times beads are a very valuable currencies in southeast asia, Ancient Kedah Tua which located in the Kedah state in Malaya used to be the biggest south east asian beads producer in ancient times since 3000 years ago. When you get back to peninsular i suggest you go to the Sungai Batu archeological sites to see the ancient Kedah kingdom site and the monument there, in Kedah if you rake the soil you can find colorful beads made from glass and clay all over the place.

Thank you guys, love this episode. Brought back memories of our visit to the village. The auntie is so funny, the way she was frustrated w/ Steve. :D Love her, so talented, wish I can learn from her! Saya orang Sabah (tinggal jauh sudah), suka dengar bila dorang cakap. Flo bilang penyengat & auntie tu mengomel lucu sama Steve. Ketawa saya! :D Beautiful costumes on the girls! <3

Yayyyy! You had Sabah vege! It's one of my top favourite vege ever. Very simple to cook yet packs lots of nutrition. Just go to restaurants and order Mani Chai
