Permai Rainforest Resort is a small eco-resort set in pristine rainforest located on the shores of the South China Sea, and at the foot of Mount Santubong. Carefully designed to minimize impact on the natural environment, it offers a great rainforest experience. The 10 treehouses, which are built on stilts 20 feet above the ground, offer you the unique experience of sleeping amongst the canopy of the trees and waking to the sound of the sea lapping against the shore. Besides the treehouses the resort offers 23 cabins spread out through the resort surrounded by lush forest vegetation. After check-in, the afternoon is free at leisure to use the many facilities of the resort or simply relax at the beach. If you are lucky you get a first glimpse of one of the three different species of monkeys that do occasionally roam in the resort‟s premises. In the evening, you will venture on a night walk. Exploring the rainforest in the dark, is a truly different experience as many animals and insects in the tropics are nocturnal and can only be seen at night! Your guide will show you how to hold your torch light in order to spot the reflection of eyes in the dark forest. Return to your accommodation after this thrilling experience. Overnight at Permai Rainforest Resort, Treehouse. Meals included: None SEA KAYAKING & CAMPING ADVENTURE (B/-/D) Day 2 Breakfast at the resort. The morning is free at leisure for you to prepare for the upcoming adventure! Just after noon time, you will meet your guide at the beach where you will be given a briefing and paddling instructions for the sea kayaking. You will paddle along the coast of the Santubong Peninsula to Teluk Pasir, the tip of the peninsula. Enjoy the views of the pristine lush green rainforest covering the coastline! After approximately 2 hours of kayaking you will reach the small remote beach of Teluk Pasir. Here you can get the ultimate Robinson-Crusoe-feel! It will be just you, your guide and nature! Together with your guide you will set up the camp and start a camp fire. A simple dinner will be prepared over the open camp fire. After dinner you can rest and relax and enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding. On a clear night you can lie down at the beach, stargaze and listen to the nocturnal jungle orchestra. Overnight/ camping at Teluk Pasir. Meals included: Breakfast Dinner P a g e | 2 BORNEO / SARAWAK JUNGLE TREKKING & SUNSET MANGROVE CRUISE (B/-/-) Day 3 Wake up with the first rays of the sun rising over the seemingly endless South China Sea! While your guide prepares a simple breakfast, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the sea. After breakfast it is time to break camp and start your trek back to Permai Rainforest Resort. This trekking is considered as real jungle trekking, as there is no marked trail, and will take 3-4 hours. Follow your guide, who will lead you safely back to the resort. Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of this pristine primary rainforest and if you are lucky enough you might spot the elusive hornbill! Around noon time you will reach the resort, where you will have some time free at leisure to enjoy a good shower and rejuvenate after this exciting adventure. Late afternoon, embark on a mangrove sunset cruise. This cruise takes you to the mouth of the Santubong River and along the mangrove forest of Kuching Wetlands National Park. Enjoy the amazing scenery of the mangrove swamp and learn how the various animals, like the proboscis monkeys, and the uniquely adapted mangrove trees develop a complex symbiotic eco-system. If the weather permits you will get to see a breath-taking sunset over the unique scenery of the mangrove forest. In the dark you will continue your cruise through the mangroves in search for the estuarine crocodile. Their eyes shine in a bright red colour when hit by the light of torch lights. Another natural phenomenon are the fireflies that congregate in the mangrove trees and let them shine like Christmas trees! After this exciting experience return to the resort.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE THE BEST OF TRADITIONAL BULGARIAN FOLK MUSIC TO AUDIENCES AT 13TH RAINFOREST WORLD MUSIC FESTIVAL (RWMF). The Bisserov Sisters have performed around Bulgaria and the world for more than 30 years, renowned as representatives of authentic folklore and a living tradition. Gifted with fine voices and musical memories, they have collected music from aunts, grandmothers, folk dances, working-bees, wedding parties, spring feasts and harvest festivals and revolutionary or haidouk songs. Those for different religious feasts, mythical and domestic family life songs, songs for love and comic songs combining varied melodies, strictly rhythmic or non-measured, primitive and rich in ornaments with the typical 'whoops' of indefinite pitch. Two-part singing is a distinguishing characteristic of the Pirin musical folk dialect. This is a primitive singing technique with its most frequently used harmonic combination of seconds, thirds and quarters; where the chords of seconds prevail. The two-part singing style is performed mostly by three singers. One of them will lead the melody and deliver the 'whoops', while the other two add a second bourdoning voice which is usually on the primary tone of the melody, though sometimes on the second degree, thus forming a second tone centre or even a unison with the first voice when it descends to the sub-primary tone. Their repertoire is drawn from the Pirin region of southern Bulgaria; and they accompany themselves with typical local instruments such as the tarabuka, tambura, and tambourine, which feature the combination of sounds peculiar to a primitive diaphony, rich and versatile metro-rhythm and expressive performing style.

  • River Modelling to Infer Flood Management Framework
    Technical note River modelling to infer flood management framework Darrien Yau Seng Mah1*, Ching Poon Hii2, Frederik Josep Putuhena2 and Sai Hin Lai3 1River Engineering and Urban Drainage Research Centre (REDAC), Universiti Sains Malaysia, Engineering Campus, Seri Ampangan, 14300 Nibong Tebal, Penang, Malaysia 2Department of Civil Engineering (Water & Environment), Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, km-17 Kuching Samarahan Expressway, 94300 Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia 3 Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Abstract River hydraulic models have successfully identified the weaknesses and areas for improvement with respect to flooding in the Sarawak River system, and can also be used to support decisions on flood management measures. Often, the big ques- tion is ‘how’. This paper demonstrates a theoretical flood management framework inferred from Sarawak River modelling outputs. The river model simulates the movement of flood waters through river reaches. Information on flood levels and overtopping of embankments is used to guide a flood early warning system. The above-mentioned elements were combined in a logical framework that showed logic sequences and impact indicators for improved flood relief activities in the city of Kuching, Malaysia. Keywords: Flood, framework, InfoWorks RS, logframe, river modelling Background South China N The Sarawak River system has been the sub- Sea ject of numerous studies, due to the location of Kuching, the capital of Sarawak State, Malaysia, within the basin. The state government has invested huge amounts of resources and time Salak River in researching the river. Two very important Sarawak River outputs of those funded projects have been the East Malaysia States Kuching topographical and hydrological data essential to City Sabah river modelling (Dyhouse et al., 2003).
