When we arrived at the Annah Rais Longhouse we were greeted by these two women wearing traditional Bidayah costumes. They gave us each a drink of "Tuak" (homemade rice wine) saying the traditional "Nook, Nook" which we understood to mean "drink, drink." It tasted good, but we knew that drinking many cups of the stuff would impair our abilities to talk and move.
