I've always wanted to visit RWMF 3 years back and plan always phailed. So this time,my random friend suddenly asked me whether am i interested to go cause he managed to get VIP tics and accomodation for the event. Late bookings for accommodation will definitely cost a bomb so do book in advance if u're planning to go next year.
Rainforest is rated as the Top 25 best international festivals by the magazine and people from all walks of life attended the event. During the 3 days event, it was an eye opener for me as i see ppl from different countries and "tribe". There were kids, teenagers, many many tourists and people from the forest wearing sexy underwear and clothes made out of leaves. Very interesting.

It is now one of the largest musical events in Malaysia with a total weekend audience approaching 30,000.
The festival features a wide range of performances from traditional music, to world fusion and contemporary world music. The festival emphasizes the use of traditional acoustic world instruments, although electric accompaniment instruments are common.

The biscuit thing is called kompia - it's a Foochow food.
Your laksa does look a bit more like curry laksa than what I would consider "normal" Sarawak laksa.
