Panimbang, Java Swiftlet Center Visit

The next day after Pak Hen Seminar, we visited Swiftlet Center in Panimbang, Java, about 4 hours bus journel. On the way to the center, we stop half way to visit the Seriti Nests Cleaning Center. Only 10% to 20% of the seriti nest is edible. You can imagine how difficult is to clean the nests.
