MY family and I (wife and two kids, aged nine and 13) have signed up for a longhouse visit to Batang Ai, Sarawak. It will be our first experience staying in a village and with a host family. The itinerary includes a short day trek with the local guide, waterfall visits and boat cruises during our five-day stay. Is there any specific gear we should bring? Pampered urbanites, Kuala Lumpur
