Why We Love Kuching!
Kuching was a surprise. Not only did this small city have amazing food, bustling markets and interesting ornate buildings but it was clean, tidy and not in the least chaotic. It was a wonderful break from the vehicular chaos from whence we had come. The first thing I noticed as we drove to our hotel was the tidy streets and beautiful green gardens. Our taxi driver told us that Kuching has been divided into North and South Kuching and if the mayor in one does something (e.g. put in a nice garden) the other mayor, not to be out done, will then follow suit. So gardens, tidy streets and up-kept buildings are everywhere!
