This woman, part of the five families still living in the longhouse near Tanjung Isuy, sweetly showed me around. Several bedrooms, two kitchens, reasonably cool inside due to lack of sunlight.

Doyo weaving | Tanjung Isuy, Kalimantan

I'd asked the shopkeeper out of curiosity how the doyo—a traditional Dayak fabric made from beaten bark—was made. He ended up coercing this girl—possibly his sister—into demonstrating for me. She didn't want to, was giggling uncomfortably the whole time, which in turn made me uncomfortable, and by the time this lovely woman came over to give her weaving advice, I practically begged them to stop the demo and let her go back to watching TV.

In this village, small children go around selling fried treats made by their moms. There aren't any restaurants open early in the morning so if you need breakfast before a 6AM boat or bus, just wait for a tiny entrepreneur toting some deliciously chewy roti goreng, hot pisang goreng, anything goreng...
