Pictures of Kuching! And Sarawak Cultural Village. Scroll down, you silly bored-faces :)

Fancy a tour around Kuching? Haha.

I'm now a certified tour guide, man. After getting lost and making big rounds round and around Kuching, I now know all the little roads in Kuching!! muahahaha! Told ya I have a bad sense of direction.

Anyway, it was a tiring, hectic, absolutely entirely exhausting, but enjoyable 3 days touring with my 3 housemates who have never seen Kuching, longhouses, human skulls or anything like that in their whole entire lives.

Then again, pictures paint a bigger story, so *teng teng teng teng*!! Presenting to you...

Kuching, Sarawak


It's the first thing you see when you turn out of airport road :)


Started off with Padungan - Kuching's very own Chinatown!


The famous wave by the Padungan Cat With Ugly Whiskers.


More cat statues!


Walk down Waterfront Kuching.


Fort Margherita from across river. Fancy a boat ride?


Astana. No idea who lives there now.. hehe but it's off limits.


The pagoda. Normally you can climb up to get a better view, but currently it's closed :(


I think it's the old Sarawak Steamship Building.


One of the fountains at Waterfront.


Old Courthouse - where the Malaysian Idol auditions were held.


Sarawak Museum, the old wing. No cameras allowed inside :(


Aquarium and mini zoo behind the Museum.


Statue with boobies outside the aquarium.


Heroes' Memorial Park beside the Museum.


Native totem pole behind the Museum's new wing.

After getting lost for about almost an hour in the jam and trying to get to Satok, we finally made it to SCV! Just in the nick of time for the morning Cultural Show and a long walk later.
