Malaysia
Highlights for now. Kuching is the long one still being written.
The street of cafes and shophouses just east of the centre. A more daily version of town than the waterfront postcard.
The beach and the mountain north of the city. A place you go, not the neighbourhood you do your shopping in. Worth knowing. Not a substitute for a flat in town.
The river, the market, and the walkable centre. The Kuching most visits start in. Living here means the town is outside the door, and so is the evening crowd.
