Playful cats

A group of cats are seen here in front of the Holiday Inn Hotel, Kuching. A favourite site for visitors to snap a little bit of Kuching's original history. Kuching derived its name from a tree that bears seeds like cat's eyes. The local name for the fruit is 'buah mata kuching'.

Topiary

A fine example of roadside topiary trees on a Kuching sub-urban road.

Red Sampans

Red 'sampans' waiting for passengers to cross the river. These boats are for hire . This Kuching waterfront sidewalk is a must for tourists . The stillness of the river water here is ideal for small boats like these . Small time boat operators are mainly partimers although some do make a permanent living out it. Increasingly, foreign visitors ride these boats to see a couple of tourist attractions opposite the waterfront area.

Sisters at Play

On this second trip to Kuching, we had lots of fun together. Here's Kuching Hitler with sisters at play. Bigger sister is called 'Messy Gray' and youngest sister is named 'Inul' ,after an Indonesian dangdut diva.
