[Kota Kinabalu Travel Series] A Tribal Experience with Mari-Mari Cultural Village

Just when you thought that you are already doing good and have so much skills to brag about, you meet people with so much talent and skills that makes you feel so little.

This is my 6th post from my Kota Kinabalu adventure which happened last month when Zest Air flew us to Kota Kinabalu for a familiarization tour.

It was only a 2 days, 1 night event but there was so much learnings, experiences and stories to share. One of the things I enjoyed most is our trip to the Mari-Mari Cultural Village. 

Mari Mari means "to come together" (sama-sama in Tagalog). Interestingly, sama-sama means You are welcome or "same here" in Malaysia.

We got to the place a little pass 6:00 PM and before visiting the old houses (5 of the ethnic groups in Sabah), we met up with the tour guide who gave us orientation with the things that we should expect and what the village should expect from us (proper decorum).

I never expected the adventure would start by crossing a hanging bridge as the sound of the flowing river welcomed us, and the wildlife greeted us on our way to the first house.
