Kuching Trip : Day Two

If you find this post boring,

blame Kuching. :P

On the whole, I find Kuching enjoyable not because of the places I went, but because of the company I had there. That's being honest. I was actually in for a pretty dull trip if not for the people I met. So thank God for that.

My travel experience tip would be, if you wanna go Kuching to have fun, don't just stay in Kuching City and expect to have the time of your lives there. Because coming from soneone who spent 5 days in Kuching City, it isn't exactly all fun. :)

Anyway,
Day Two started out with a promise, having Arsenal beating Liverpool 3-6 in Anfield, Liverpool's home that morning. Bwahaha.

Ok seriously,
we woke up reasonably early by MY standards that day, having few of the Kuching people who were also Praveen's college mates picking us up from the hotel. Everything's just so near to each other so we didn't trouble them much, i think.

First thing we did?
Breakfast.
First thing 'uniquely Kuching' we had?
The famous Sarawak Laksa.

Which unfortunately,
I forgot to take a picture of.
Dammit.

When I actually remember, 3-quarter of the Laksa is already gone.

My verdict : Pretty overrated actually. :P Tastes ALMOST EXACTLY the same with the curry laksa we have back here in KL. But that doesn't mean it sucks rite? It's good. Just nothing out of the ordinary. :D

We then went to one of the Kuching gang houses.
Because that is what they pretty much do everyday anyway for fun.
Going to each other houses.
Haha.

I was initially curious how houses would look like there.
To those Kuching people reading the blog, no I did not think of treehouses but more to 'different-styled' houses from the ones we see in KL.
=.=
I just had to be defensive there.

Yeap. Most houses in Kuching, actually looks like this.



NOTHING VERY DIFFERENT RITE?
CAUSE WE"RE ALL LIVING IN THE SAME COUNTRY-LAH THAT"S WHY.

Just because Sarawak and the Peninsular is divided by a reasonably big sea, that doesn't mean their houses will have to look any different rite. :|

We spent some time in the house,
actually... THINKING of what to do. Lol.

Random pics in the house.


Praveen, a friend of his and TK(standing up) looking entertained.


Me, pulling my pants up.

It was pretty funny for the 3 KL dudes because we felt a little bad 'troubling' them, making them think of where should they bring us next.

Conversations made throughout the 5 days went pretty much like this everytime..

"ehh... where to bring them now ah??"

"err.. want to go watch movie??"

"ehh lets go sit the sampan lah"

"dowan lah.. eh where to bring them... let's go eat?"

"what about a movie.."

"let's go eat..."

Tip of the day : When you can't think of anything else to do, bring your guests to someplace where they can munch of food (and actually buy you enough time to think of where to go next).

What the Kuching people told us is that, there's basically NOTHING else to do in Kuching besides eating. So that's wat exactly we did.

We finally all decided to go for a sampan ride on Day Two anyway.
Which was actually a pretty neat experience. :)

One trip to the other side of the river will cost you around RM0.30.
Very long never see such a price for ANYTHING in Malaysia liau.
So was pleasantly surprised lah.

Erm,
There's... actually... nothing... else.... much.. to.. talk.... about.. regarding.. the .. sampan..

So,
these are the photos I took.


A view of the river from the bank where we departed.


The inside of the sampan which a group of us sat in.


Row, row, row your boat..


A view from the 'other' side. Pretty nice huh.

That night,
we went to Sportsplanet Kuching.
To play futsal.
Yes. Sportsplanet have a branch in Kuching.


Futsal.

I didn't play though. Cause I'm 'kaki bangku'.
And I dont want to risk embarassing myself that night infront of my new friends.
So I opted for the wiser option of not playing. =)

What else, what else.
Ah.
That night, after the futsal,
the 3 of us went back to our hotels to change.


3 vain pots.

and,
Diana asked us out for dinner cum supper.
Praveen joined his friends while TK and I joined Diana.
Oh yea, Praveen's college mates are Diana friends too!
So they basically know each other. So hanging out won't be a hard time.

ANYWAY,
Diana brought her younger sister along and we... basically.. ate lah.
I ordered Char Kuey Teow because I wanted to see if they are any different from the KL CKT.
It's pretty much the same.. their portion's a little bigger though. Maybe just that shop lah. I shouldn't really generalise.
Price should be a little cheaper.


Diana(who wants to see her photo on this blog) and her sister, Sandra. Haha.


Kuching CKT.

Shit I don't know what else to say.
Day Three will be a little more interesting, I think.
:/

Sry for wasting your time.
It's Kuching I tell you!
Grr.


Day 3: The eating day, up next!
