In the far edges of Brunei, lies the quiet rural village of Teraja. Its residents all share a single long rooftop, with 125 people living here on the weekends. Though most of them are off at work during the weekdays.

Built on stilts about the average man’s height, the Teraja longhouse appears sturdy but worn; stair posts and handles painted a mint-ish green, with a façade of yellow wooden panels and doors in blue.

If you want to experience culture in a more personal way, you can come and talk to its residents, who are more than willing to show you what the countryside has to offer. From hikes to see the waterfalls and hills to traditional Iban craftsmanship workshops.
