Highlight of our Malaysian Trip!
We spent 17 days in the Kuching area, 5 of them in Kuching the rest in surrounding parks. Kuching isn't much to see... it has an interesting waterfront with hawkers and great food courts; some interesting museums; and excellent fresh seafood. Otherwise it is a typical SE Asian city. While we were in the city we did a sunset river cruise, spent a …

... when I encountered Chinese people. And again I know it’s wrong to think all people from one country are all the same as I know for sure that not all Germans are punctual or not having a sense of humour for example, but that’s what I am here for.

english and we soon learnt that she had once been a primary school
teacher before starting a food stall with her husband. A really

The walks and wildlife were much better in Bako then what we ...
Trekking in Bako NP

Again the tour companies wanted £90 to take you there so I did a little bit of research online and found out that the bus stopped near our hotel and we ended up paying £15 instead!Shows even in Borneo there are some things you can do cheaply on your own (not many though!).

“Great Location, good value”
Reviewed Feb 28, 2013
