Went to Sarawak 2 weeks ago. Short trip, but we managed to visit almost all the possible tourist destinations in Kuching town at the end of the 2 days we were there.

The cat musuem was one of the cheesy WELCOME-TO-CAT-TOWN places we had to visit,
THE CAT MUSEUM. WHERE CATS COME TO LIFE!
The place was more or less what you would expect from a cat museum. They had cat statues, cat dolls, display cabinets showing cat food, there was even a cat grave. i wonder why they’d have that, did any cats die within the museum?
Well, a few questions to my tour guide enlightened me. this museum was where they filmed this:
“ohhhh….”, i replied.
As if it couldn’t get any worse. there were cats everywhere!
GIGANTOS!
BIG BIG GILA BAPAK sized CATS of all colours.
this was white, and SO dangerous my sister had to make sure she protected me from any unpredicted low blows.
they’ve also got an army of them in the middle of town. the tour guide says they go there everyday for a foot and body message, and after that for a Big Mac.
“ohhhh…” i said again. this guides pretty good ay. the girl on the right, well she surrendered.
We did go out of the city for quite a bit too. We went to the Semenggoh wildlife centre, around 30 minutes drive from Kuching to see orang utan. notice the singular noun, because well, only one dude came.
“OOOOOHHHH!!” went the ang mohs, seeing for the first time that dude who shares 97% of our human DNA. (www.iloveorangutan.com/facts)
dad’s face a relection of the sun. Some say he is the sun himself!
Kudos to the folks at Semenggoh for their conservation efforts. The place was well kept, and the rest of the reserve is littered with numerous species of both flora and fauna. I’s say this place comes second only to Singapore Zoo (at which i saw 13 dudes) I strongly recommend anyone going to Sarawak to give that place a visit.
Sarawak Cultural Village is where you’ll see the famed long house.
i particularly liked the tall house, because legend has it, it was built so tall to escape the clutches of the sinister CAT ARMY FROM KUCHING.
On the way back, we stopped by a town bordering Indonesia called Siringin, the place was sort of like Danga Bay during one of their indon bazaars.
The Malaysian Government is kind enough to issue day passes to Indonesian traders to ply their BURBERRI and CHANNEL goods, provided they return home across the border at the end of the day.
I decided to have lunch there, but i suppose lunch wouldn’t be of any interest to anyone reading.
After all, all i had was 3 juicy live worms (SURVIVOR/FEAR FACTOR kinda worms), and a barbecued one.
oh in case you’re wondering, the live ones taste like dried brinjal, the barbecued ones taste like chicken. YUM!
All in all, it was a good trip. I had fun. I’m sure my daddy did too.
