Sibu, Malaysia (with photos)

[Edgar]

Sibu is a small town on the east Malaysian state of Sarawak (Borneo). This is also my hometown and where I grew up during my childhood before migrating to Adelaide permanently. My trip back this time was to hold my second wedding (after my first one in Adelaide a week earlier), and I had the luxury to bring my wife and her family who has never been there to the famous in-door market and the largest Chinese temples in South East Asia, with a collection of around 4-5 different temples in an enclosed ground.

You can view the full collection here -

A smart way to sell live chicken. You pick the ones you like, pay, and carry it by the string. They just stay still.
