As it was our last day in Kuching, and well our last full-day in Malaysia we decided to go out and try some of the local foods that Sarawak is famous for. Chris had a ‘Sarawak Laksa’ and I had ‘Tomato Keow Taow’ which is fried noodles cooked in a tomato sauce with other bits in which were...

A nice stroll around Kuching

Today we went for another walk around Kuching and wandered around some of the museums before finding a few back streets to take a walk aimlessly down. It was a pretty easy-going day! Oh and finally the scab fell off my knee, now a month later I'm left with a big hole in the middle and...

Sarawak Cultural Village

Today we woke up early and caught a shuttle bus to Sarawak Cultural Village in Damai. We had heard great things about it and as they were celebrating their Harvest Festival this weekend we thought it would be a great time to visit. It wasn’t however how we expected it to be....

Junk, junk, junk

Today we decided to go exploring around Kuching and planned what we would do for the next few days here. So we went walking around enjoying the city marvelling how they could have huge streets with shops next to each other selling identical junk! Right at the waterfront there must be...

Sarawak Surprises!

Sarawak in Borneo was a subject of great excitement for Sup...and a secret fear for me. We both had images in our head of a the wild jungle – Malaysia at its most feral, untamed, tribal even – Sup couldn't wait and I...well, I was anxious, but open minded. We couldn't have been more...

We built a house!

So I think in retrospect I am going to reflect on this part of the trip as a blast (too). It's been really fun hanging with some new cool people. Updates since the last blog: On Saturday we went to the market. While in some ways a typical Asian market, this one was particularly fun because...

On to Borneo

A lovely, developed city. We spent St Patrick's Day here. The good news wass there was plenty of Guinness, the bad news was that it wasn't developed enough to have a bar sto show Wales beating England.
