Hedley’s Trip to Niah Cave

It all happened thirty years ago when Hedley together with his wife and daughter decided to have a trip to Niah Cave. This cave is located in the Eastern part of Malaysia in the district of Miri, state of Sarawak. The family started their trip driving from Brunei until the Malaysian border. There they had to take a ferry to avoid driving through the jungle. The trip was long and tiring because they had to cross three different rivers to reach Miri. Although the family was supposed to arrive at the Niah Cave by 2 pm, they actually reached the place in the evening. It was too late to find a place to stay in. They headed off to the Government rest house where they met a group of Canadian scientists. The Canadians were very kind and offered Hedley and his family some food. In return, Hedley shared some of his drinks with them. The next morning, Hedley and his family headed off to see the Niah Cave. It was very dark and smelly with birds and bats nesting inside. While they were there, some locals entered the Cave. They were wearing hats with lights attached to them. It turned out that the locals came to collect bird nests to sell them later to the Chinese. Bird nests make a famous bird nests soup loved by the Chinese. The way to collect the bird nests was very amusing and something Hedley and his family saw for the first time. One man would climb up to scrape off the nests while the other man would be waiting to collect it from the ground. Watching the local men collect the bird nests was the highlight of the trip. The rest of the journey was not as pleasant. On the way back the trip was difficult because Hedley had to drive on rocky roads with a broken gear. Despite the negative, the overall trip was a success and something Hedley and his family remembered for years.

Last winter when I traveled to Austria with my family, I had experience of the snow for the first time. My trip started from Dubai airport when suddenly I met one of the Netherlands national football team. He was sitting in the coffee shop with his friend; I spoke to him and he was a nice guy. Then we headed to the airplane and it took us six hours to reach our destination. We reached the main airport of Austria and took another local airplane to Salzburg. We reached the hotel around afternoon and took some rest. Then we went downtown and walked around. It was a very nice walk because, there were no cars, only people. It was amazing that most of the buildings were very old, since the 15th century. We went back to the hotel and slept until the next day. The next day we woke up, had our breakfast and went to see some of the attractions of the city. The first place was Mozart’s house, one of the most famous composers in the world. When we were leaving the place it was very loud and noisy outside and suddenly we saw people of the city arranging their houses for the celebration of New Year’s Eve. Some of the city people were preparing a big area for the night celebration. After a long day we went back to the hotel and had our dinner. Few hours later people started the fireworks; it was a nice long evening. The next morning I woke up and opened the window and the city was covered with snow; that was my first time.
Traveling is very good for changing the routine life style and you learn from other cultures.
