Crossing the Sarawak - a photo on Flickriver

Crossing the Sarawak

            Small wooden boats are used to transport local Malaysians across the Sarawak River in Kuching, East Malaysia.  These water taxis are manually rowed standing up at the front of the boat. it takes strength and fast rowing to cut across the currents of the river to connect people closer to the city center. These boats alleviate the need of locsls to travel to bridges to cross.  I revisited this image from years ago and thought I would share it.
