    Dayak are the indigenous people of Borneo island. Many of them live along large river banks. The Austronesian language family becomes the root of their languages. The population of Dayak people in Indonesia had reached 2.2 million in the 21st century.

    There are many subgroups within Dayak tribes. However, the lines of differentiation between them are often difficult to build. There are several famous subgroups of Dayak, such as the Kayan or usually called as Bahau in Kalimantan, the Kenyah, the Ngaju, the Bidayuh, and the lban. They are all widely spread in Kalimantan and Sarawak.

    Historically, Dayak people lived with a few hundred members in longhouse communities. They traced their descent through the male and female lines. The children would live with their parents until they got married since the family was the basic unit. Although there was lack of unity between groups because of the differences in language, custom and marriage, a boy could choose his bride outside his own village. Later, he would live in his wife's community. Nowadays, however, many young Dayak women and men leave home before they are married to study or work in urban areas. Many of them also pursue rural employment, such as at timber camps and oil palm plantations.

    My school held a cultural day last week. We were asked to promote any culture from Indonesia and the world. Then I decided to wear yukata, a Japanese traditional outfit.

    On that day, I woke up early to prepare my yukata. At six, I took out my yukata from my closet and browsed the Internet for the tutorial on how to put on yukata. I followed the instructions step by step. It was easy at first. But things became hard when I had to wear the belts. There were three kinds of belts that I had to wear, and they should be set on each other. I failed to put them on several times. I got annoyed and stressed since I had to go to school at seven! Later I tried my best to finish it quickly and went to school.

    After I arrived at school, many of my friends praised me. They said I looked unique and pretty in yukata. I was so happy until I felt something tickling my foot. It was one of the belts! It came loose and fell at my feet. I felt very embarrassed because many people were looking at me. Because of that, I almost slipped over it. Fortunately, one of my teachers saw the incident. She took me to the teacher's office and helped me to fix it. She put on some pins to secure the belts.
