Episode 17: A Day In The Life Of A Land Bajau

There are two types of Bajau people living in South East Asia: The Sea Bajau and the Land Bajau. In the previous episode, Juwita Suwito and Gina Yap Lai Yoong brought you into a Sea Bajau village near Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia. In this episode, they landed on the shores of Kalapuan island where they visited Hardy’s hometown.

It’s a whole new discovery altogether visiting a Land Bajau village. It’s not as quiet as the girls expected. In fact, it’s quite happening with men making boats, women washing clothes, boys playing volleyball, girls playing coin games, and so many other activities. But one of the most memorable of such discoveries was the Land Bajau cemetery.

Join the girls in this unofficial tour as they share a glimpse of the lifestyle, culture, and routines of the Land Bajau.
