THE MORNING WALK IN KUCHING CITY ON THE LAST DAY


  8TH SEPTEMBER 2022   ~ We finally came to the very last day in Kuching but we still have long hours to spend as our flight back home would be at night.


Even though he had walked the same route a few times before, the morning session was different because: [1] there were less people and traffic and the road [2] the sky was bright and blue [it was gloomy during the first 3 days here.










We went to walk on Darul Hana bridge again to see the panorama from the middle of the river. It was much more peaceful than it was at night when there were always many people here. If you want to get the best view from the bridge, then you should be here early in the morning.




























This should be the last time for us to see beautiful Kuching city before we flew back home later at night.

SEEING KUCHING AFTER 9:00 P.M.


 6th SEPTEMBER 2022  ~ After having the tummies filled with all kinds of food and drinks at Chicken Hertz, we decided to take a walk to see what Kuching had to offer after 9:00 p.m. This time my ex-student, Mr. Aster Smith, had to play the tourist guide.


The first short stop was the cats statue in front of Margherita Hotel. This should be one of the must-visit and must-take-photo spot when you are in Kuching. I think there is another statue inn the middle of the road where people could pose for photos.


If you are wondering, why cats? This is because "Kuching" is actually "cat" in the Malay language.








Then we went to join the crowd at the Waterfront.






This time, we went up the Darul Hana Bridge. The pedestrian bridge was still attracting a lot of people after 9:00 p.m.






We were actually walking over the Sarawak River and observing the surroundings. This should be one place where one could find peace but that would not happen when there were just too many people walking in both directions.










We took many photos on the bridge before it was time to leave. The time to bid Mr. Aster Smith goodbye came when he sent us back to the hotel.
I was happy to get to see Mr. Aster again and hoping we could do that again some other time - either in Kuching or some other places.
