Kuching, Sarawak

Kuching (known as the 'Cat City'...meow) is the capital city of Sarawak in western side of Malaysian Borneo and is known for its colonial history and food culture as well as a gateway to pristine rainforests and natural wonders of Borneo.

No visit to Kuching is complete without a visit to Semenggoh Nature Reserve to see rehabbed and released orangutans in their natural habitat. 

Not having my fill of primates, I took a bus and a boat to Bako National Park in search of proboscis monkeys. Not only did we see a proboscis, but a few longtail macaques, bearded pigs, and a green pit viper!

With several bowls of Laksa Sarawak in my belly, I headed to the other side of Malaysian Borneo.
