2nd part of Kuching photos

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

 

Let me start this post with this:

Sun set view from the window of Hilton Hotel. The sun set later compare to Sabah as Kuching is a bit further to the left of the globe. It also gave us a feelings that the day is still bright even when it is already 7pm.

On the 2nd day, we went out to look for our relaxation time from body massage. We were welcomed by a double rainbow! Not so clear from the photo though.

Then came across this which already got some people waiting in line to take photo.

We started off our body massage with the compliment ear candling..it is not painful at all, just showing my silly face.

After that, didn’t take anymore photos.

Then the following night we took water taxi to get across the Sarawak river for our Mee Golok. It took us less than 5 minutes to get across, by the time I was ready with my camera to take more picture from the boat, we have already arrived. It cost us RM0.40 for one trip per person.

My Mee Golok. I still prefer our local Ngiu Chup. The black source is actually extra soup for the noodle.

Next thing we did was to get some Kuih Lapis or Layer cake which is the local delicaci that one must try when visiting Kuching. Seen here is shelves full of different kind of Kuih Lapis.

Photos from Kuching trip

This is going to be full with photos, I’ll try to put in those relevant and beautiful one (I hope). Before that let me share something first. I had really bad headache when the plane was landing, really terrible one. It happens twice on both ways. Probably due to my block nose but it never happened before, not this bad. What came into my mind is that what if I just explode on plane, blood vessel broke? I would have just die there? Anyway, am totally safe now and hope my next trip to China will not have this experience again. I don’t think I’ve bought any travel insurance for this trip, not like when we went to Australia years ago. Probably an extra medicare insurance would help.

Enough of that worry, let’s start the photos from the first day of visit.

View from the hotel, overlooking the Parliment House which is still under construction. At night it looks like one of the tower in “Lord of the Ring”, those Gothic style house.

View of Sarawak River from Waterfront. It has a very nice shaded walk-way.

The look of the street full with old structures and with Chinese look.

Then we walked all the way to India Street which the taxi stand is right at the end of the street. That’s where we got our taxi to UNIMAS on the first day.

This is how it looks like from the taxi stand. I like the direction plate.
