Borneo, " Kuching " state of Sarawak 2006
The following photos are of my trip to Borneo, the Southern city of Kuching and the surrounding areas.
Kuching is a very pleasant city situated on the river, lots of culture, easy going people, good transport and value for money accommodation.
I visited one of there national parks, the Sarawak cultural village and many other sights.
I recommend people visit this area as flights are cheap from Asia and the rewards are worth the effort.
Ill post these photos over a few days.
cheers.
Looking down on the river from the Chinese Temple
River front promenade. Brilliant spot in the evening.
The local government redeveloped this water front, it comes alive in the evening with people, food stalls and provides a lovely atmosphere.

Nature turns it on at night on the promenade.
Sarawak museum considered to be the best in South East Asia.
Sarawak museum opened in 1891
A must see if you ever get over this way and a highlight is the reconstructed long house complete with skull trophies.

Ice cream seller outside the museum.
This old fella had some age about him and I wondered how he rode that friggin bike. He would not let me get a full facial shot but I wanted it because he was a classic lookin man.
