Kuching Trip

Was in Kuching from 16 June - 24 June. As the name suggests, there are statues of cats in the city.however, i have not seen any cat(real) wandering around in the city itself during my 8 days trip there.Ironic!

I was greeted by the wet weather in kuching, which according to Vincent, its normal. It rained almost everyday during my trip. anyway, as i have come a long way to kuching, i definitely wont waste my time sitting in the room waiting for the rain to stop. Went to the Cat museum, Sarawak Museum, Civics Centre, Waterfront, Cultural Village, Matang Wildlife Park and some places that i couldnt rmb the names by now.hehe :p anyway, the one that i enjoyed the most was Cultural Village. Its 45 mins car ride from the kuching city. so we need to take a shuttle to get there. We were given a passport which we are supposed to stamp it when we visit each house in the cultural village. There are many different type of houses, Malay House, Chinese House, Melanau Tall House, Penan Hut, Iban Long House and also Bidayuh Long House. There actually displayed many things in the house to represent the lives of each ethnic. Then i also get to watch perfomances by different ethnic groups, which were very enlightening.

Oh, another place that i want to highlight is the civics centre. It is a tall building in a very unique shape. I think civics centre is the perfect place to get a nice view on kuching city. From there, i noticed something very different in kuching buildings. Maybe i am too used to being surrounded by sky scrapers in Singapore for the past two years. The buildinds in Kuching are not very tall and in between the buildings we can still see green land, which is a good sign:)

I shall not forget to mention the tasty food in Kuching :) :) :) Kuching Laksa, ko lo mee, Tomato noodle, and also the sea food. although i am not very much a spicy food fan, i love the laksa a lot. Its very different from what we have in semenanjung here. and i ate 4 bowls of that in just one week, and consequence is that i get sorethroat followed by flu after that. serve me right :P oh, i also get to try Paku pakis , some type of veggie which we can hardly see in semenanjung. Correct me if i am wrong.

In short, i enjoyed my Kuching trip very very much. Thank you Vincent and his parents, and also Alison for everything in Kuching :) :) :)
