Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF) 2012. Workshop, Day 2 Part I.

RWMF 2012 Ticket

Rainforest World Music Festival (RWMF)2012
are back! This annual festival were held at Sarawak Cultural Village which were situated right at the foot hill of Mt. Santubong. For more information about this yearly event, do click the text link as I think its the best source of information... Bare in mind, this blog post will have a lots of photos that I have to split into 2 part!

HoHey..... Hui Hui & I were discussing to attend this festival or not few weeks before the event date. Then one day, Michael of Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) message me in facebook informing that my blog post of 2011 Sarawak Regatta and picture were features in STB's event page. He asked for my number and called me soon after... so, this is how I get my ticket to RWMF2012. I only ask for 2 ticket (for Hui Hui & I). Maybe I could have get a photographer/media pass but my motive are to go and relax as well as enjoy!

So, we headed up to SCV right after lunch and as cars without stickers are prohibited from going beyond Damai Golf  Country Club to avoid flow of traffics, we have to park at Damai Golf & Country Club's road side. Then we took a shuttle bus from there to get to SCV and that cost RM5/person. If you prefer not to drive, you can always take a shuttle bus from Kuching.

We attended workshop, its my first time attending the workshop as its my first time reaching SCV so early to attend the festival. Workshop are awesome! You get interactions! venue were great as its fit the themes! Foot and drink are plenty! Rubbish bin, lots! maybe only need to be environmental friendly so its not that obvious of eye sores to see in the pictures. We had fun and meeting peoples!!! Seeing people having fun and capturing few of them just awesome! I do wish they can view this pics and I do hope you will like the pics I share here as how I see this festival.
Lots of people parked here.
