One of Kuching's (obviously) main attraction each year is its rain forest music festival.I believe this event has been happening for more than a decade and even for someone who doesn't really bother(not my kind of music i presume) am also aware of its immense cult and world appeal.
This year though Diyana has her friends from KL coming over to watch this music festival.
As luck would have it we manage also to get some free tickets from relatives who decide to opt out in fear of the H1N1 flu epidemic(decent folks to be really emulated!)
So there we were the wife and Azri tagging along driving over to Damai fearing a massive traffic jam and a chaotic atmosphere.
Honestly i was pleasantly surprised,the event was well organised,traffic controlled well and i did enjoy some of the music being on show. kudos to the organiser.
The atmosphere of wild partying and drunkenness of the youth being a prominent feature of the festival as imagined by myself and feedback from friends was not really true.
The crowd was well behaved,of course there was a bit of partying going on but then in my youth i have seen worst!!! Enough said
Like any concerned parents though we were always on the look out for Diyana and her friends imagining that they may have behaved beyond a certain acceptable decorum.
No fear , the festival is indeed a great annual event and i promised myself i will be there next year but this time possibly will book early the Damai hotel so that can enjoy the whole 3 days and nights proceeding.
Well, if i do feel tired there is always this Penan house at the cultural village that i can have a respite and rest,
