Kampung Seberang was located on a clear, watery seafront. White sand spread along the beach. The palm trees waved in the
wind. The fishing boats leaned before and after catching fish in the sea. The residents of Kampung Seberang lived a simple life.
Their houses had poles that were high enough so that tidal water did not enter their homes. The pillars of the house were made of
solid wood. The floor consisted of wood and halved bamboo. The walls were made of woven bamboo. From the sidelines of woven bamboo winds often came in so the house felt cool. Meanwhile, the roof of the house was made of sago palmleaves arranged and tied with the rattan they got from the forest.
