Kuching

---

Kuching is a pleasant city/town with tasty Laksa (for breakfast of course) for 4 Ringitt about $1.30 it has a chinese/ malay feel with a smattering of Indigenous cultures thrown in.
I hesitated about visiting another Orang utan centre but I'm so glad I went because 'Ritchie' the dominant male showed up for a feed of bananas and sugar cane, those animals are awesome up close and personal a little too close at one stage when I decided to make a hasty retreat.
I was wondering what to do next when I met up with 3 single women i.e women traveling by themselves, we went to the cultural village for the day and had a hoot visiting traditional longhouses and blowing darts.
Some longhouses are as the names suggests ...long with 100 doors, one for each family.
So within the span of a few hours my plans (what plans?) went from staying in a longhouse for three days a long way a way to booking a flight to Mulu a UNESCO listed national park a long way away for the last 6 days of my stay in Borneo. So I am traveling with a Canadian woman who is 66 years old and been traveling for 14 years.

PS. wrote this blog about a week ago just realised I had only saved it and not published it, so it is pretty old news.
Take care out there
