Google maps: Kuching, Malaysia
We have not even planned to come here. Initially the plan was to climb the Mount Kinabalu in northern Borneo but steep prices (300€ for two-night trek) kept us away and we settled for Kuching instead. The place is well known among the locals but completely new to me. Maybe it was the low expectations, maybe the local people saying 'hello' all the time or relaxing atmosphere but the place is great with loads to see around. Hiking in the jungle, swimming in South China Sea, watching Orangutans and funny Proboscis monkeys (with noses like bacterias from 'Il etait une fois... la vie' or 'Bylo sobie zycie') and eating local laksa, breakfast spicy soup. It would be perfect if only gin & tonic was a bit cheaper :-)
