Our Professors Trip



Professor Hedley’s Trip

He travelled to the Niah Caves in East Malaysia about 30 years ago from Brunei Bandar Seri Begawan or BSB for short. He went with his wife and his elder daughter.
At first they travelled by car till they reached a river and then they used the ferry to cross it. They headed out in the morning and got to their destination around late afternoon/sunset. Once they got there they used a small boat to get to the caves.
He stayed at a government rest house during the time he was there. One of the amazing sights they got to see is the climbing of men inside the cave retrieving the birds’ nests, and they use those birds’ nests to make soup since they believed that it was very healthy. Unfortunately the cave had a very bad stench due to all the bird waste.
They stayed for that day and then headed back on the next.
