Kuching

Day 2. Had breakfast at Café Harapan then waited at the lounge for the mini coach to take us to the Sarawak Cultural Village for a half day tour. It costs us RM70 each for entrance and fare. Unable to find the SCV tickets even after searching twice the room but the tour operator Saiful said it was OK. The ride to SCV took 45 mins. On arrival we were given a passport booklet each to be stamped at

Our last day in Kuching. We did not request for morning call so we can get up leisurely. I woke up at 7.30am and the sun was already up, over the Hilton, Crowne Plaza and the Riverbank Suites and shining obliquely into our room. I had awakened 4 times last night because of the coconut drink I think. After readying ourselves we walked to the Chinese Food Court again and had the same food as we too

The visit Kuching was unplanned. During early January 2007, Air Asia had a promotion to launch the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 and offered a million FREE seats.

It was a relatively new

I would like to share all reader of my knowledge about the terubuk fish in Kuching. There are not much people knows the reality kind of this fish. Many sellers just not take this terubuk as the important to tell the customer for the original terubuk.

Not again! Yeah, I am still with sparkling rings today. Hopefully, I will get all done by tomorrow. Only spent about 3 hours on the rings today as we went out for a ride this afternoon.

I went to Kubah National Park a little over a year ago. One of those short holiday excursions again. The park is located about 20 kilometres from Kuching and one of Sarawak's most accessible national parks. 30-40 minutes is all it takes to get there from the city centre, provided you know your way of course. The Park consists largely of undisturbed natural forest with five main vegetation types:- alluvial forest, lowland mixed dipterocarp forest, kerangas (heath) forest, submontane forest and secondary forest. Its rich forest, proximity to the mangrove forests and its terrain all ensure that Kubah is home to a variety of wildlife, including bearded pigs, black hornbills, mousedeer, squirrels and numerous species of amphibians and reptiles. It is also rich in palms and orchids. I didn't see any bearded pigs or other faunal species while there, probably because we did not try to hide our presence there by keeping our voices down.For those of you who enjoy tranquility in a natural envir

I spend almost 80% of my time in a year in a city environment. Not really to my liking but what other choice do I have. When I do get the chance, I enjoy a quick break to nearby national parks, of which some are very accessible fortunately for city guys like me. The one I've been to most recently (that being 2 years ago) is Gunung Gading National Park. It's located in the Lundu District, northeast of Kuching. The Park is just 5 minutes drive from Lundu town or about 2 hour's drive from Kuching. The Park consists of rugged mountain peaks which provides a scenic backdrop to the nearby beaches at Pandan and Siar. Best places to go to are the waterfalls in the upper reaches of Sungai Lundu and of course the 800 meter plus hike right up to the peak of Mount Gading. The climb is a piece of cake for those of you who've scaled the likes of K2 and the Himalayas. 4 hours tops, including time to stop and take photographs.On the celebrity profile, the Park is famous for being home to the world
