KAMPONG VISIT IN MALAYSIA












Here are some photos I took while on location in the little town of Pasir Gogok near Desaru in Malaysia. Our colleague, Jay Anania, is directing a film entitled "Drinking Sand" (that's the English translation of Pasir Gogok). We shot the film in a kampong at Pasir Gogok. The Muslim community in this kampong were so hospitable. One of the women in the kampong cooked us all one of the most delicious fish curries I have ever tasted in my life. The fish was probably caught that morning by her husband, Muhammed, who is a fisherman in the kampong. Here are some shots of Jay directing, lots of children who probably had never seen the likes of us before and the Malaysian flag which looks startingly familiar...
