Cottons and cottons everywhere on the lawn at Padang Merdeka, Kuching city. A cu view.
Two young girls are busy collecting cottons falling off from this cotton tree at Kuching's Padang Merdeka lawn. A rare moment not to be missed in Kuching. I was fortunate to witness the cotton tree shedding cotton on the garden floor below. My estimate is that this tree is about 25 m high.
On this trip to Kuching I had a special liking to 'ikan terubok'. This fish when smoked is delicious and is a favourite among West Malaysian tourists who bring them home salted to be enjoyed upon their return from Sarawak.
