Beauties in our backyard

Culture trove: Villagers of Kampung Giam.

ABBIE Hosanna, 24, is a kindhearted brainiac who grew up in the dictionary definition of paradise.

Her home, Kampung Git, about 40 minutes from Kuching, is nestled along the Penrissen Ranges. It is here where the Sarawak River begins to form and nearby are Bidayuh gems like Kampung Sadir, a village surrounded by seven waterfalls, and Kampung Kiding, a settlement above the clouds.
