Kuching-----Cat??

It has already been more than half a month since the last day of Chinese New Year and yet, my entry for 'Chap Goh Mei' is still on. I have been missing in action and let me tell you of my disappearance. The reason is, I've been lazy. Been waking up late and didn't even goes to the gym for more than a month already. Had put on a hundred kilo, sob... sob... terrible right?
The other reason was, went on a holiday with my daughter 'Redbabe' for a 4d/3n holiday to Kuching, a little town in Sarawak (also known as the exotic Borneo), Malaysia.
I have nothing much to said except it's super clean and the hotel we stayed in was nice, cosy and just 3 months old. It was very new.
As for the sightseeing, you can actually see all in a day, but we split it into 2 days. On the second day after we arrived, we visited 'The Cultural Village'.
Let the photos do the talking.
Cultural dance shows, aborigines straw houses, bamboo bridges, and some real human skull that the head hunter hunted.
On day 3, we visited the 'Orang Utan'.
According to the guide/driver we were very lucky to be able to see the wild 'Orang Utan'. There were times where visitors have to make 3 to 4 trips just to see them. Yes we are one of the lucky people, saw not just 1 but 2 adults and a baby orang utan.
According to the local, waterfront is where all the action will be, but... still nothing much to see except some food stalls with a few tourists.
Temple, oh yes we saw a few temples.
Went to Chinatown had coffee in a very nice cafe specialized in coffee. Entertaining ourselves with photo taking. Trying to be MJ's long lost sister, hahaha. I must said the food here is not as good as those in Kota Kinabalu.
Overall, my 4d/3n trip here is totally unlike all the places that I have been before. There were not many young people there especially young or modern girls. Not even in the malls. It's kind of quiet, and I must said the man there was different too. They would stare at us as if we were aliens... quite scary. Not sure if it is a compliment or there is really no female species in Kuching...hahaha. Nevertheless, it was a good experience. We actually can't wait to go home and almost miss our flight because the hotel airport shuttle didn't turn up in time and we have to go to the airport in a taxi. My daughter had to run to the check-in counters and asked a kind lady to let her check-in first because it was the final call for our flight to check in.

My mom says that is important to follow a routine but it is good too to be relaxed from time to time!
Glad you had a great time!
Thanks for sharing all those pictures!
Kisses and hugs

Luckily you both didn't miss the flight or else have to stay longer in the cat town. :) Thanks for the photos that showed what Kuching looks like.

Mum, Kuching looks better in photo, not when you are there, hahaha.
