Backpacking Natively

There are still many places in Sabah, or most countries in the Third World, people walking barefooted and carrying produces in a rattan tube like backpack.

This Kadazandusun lady was backpacking what the locals called the "sumpit", while gingerly walking across the suspension/cable bridge, on her way to a tamu. A tamu is a lot like a Sunday Fair, where natives with cash crops would gather. The gathering place is usually a wide open space.

Tamu is a weekly thing and is the most colorful day of the week, in Sabah.
