Good morning everyone~~last Saturday, Swinburne Sarawak Biotechnology Club had Organize a education trip to both Sarawak Timber Association and  F&N soft drink factory

 The picture above shows the situation where some people are boarding the bus and some people are waiting.The journey starts at about 9am, luckily everyone was on time~~~

 

Yes, i am the last to board, no just to take photo, but also to get a view of out pretty MPH(the Green ellipse at the background)

Now, after half an hours of bus trip, we finally arrived at STA(Sarawak Timber Association) , is a glass covered building with a curve.Basically everything within this building is decorated with greenish stuff...like trees, table cloth and people with greeen hair~!!!

A spiral staircase, you can roll down from the 5th floor if you want to

A glass Rooftop

A view of STA logo 

I shall skip the boring part of the tack, which is mainly about how much they sell each year for the forest resources  , and the use of this region in biotechnology and how they have help in scholarship and research funding~~

conclusion, hardwood and softwood is determined by the species not the hardness or density

so, hardwood can be very soft somehow

Next, we went to the exhibition hall of STA, which consist of some item unique to the Sarawak forest, mainly all the types of wood, and the usages

 Wood can be made into shoes~~~it is very nice to see~and nice to hold

but once broken, considered sold~~!!

A 13th years old timber that represent the shape of my heart~~A large crack can be seen
