I was in Kuching not too long ago for the Rainforest World Music Festival or fondly refered to as RWMF. You can read about my adventures *here*, *here* and *here*. During my 5 day stint in Cat City, I took loads of pictures of the beautiful city. The sights of Kuching is nothing like the ones I've seen before. While Melaka do boasts a host of historical buildings, Kuching does a pretty good job at that too but with a different taste in archicture. So armed with a camera with me trying to absorb the colours, textures and structures, here's Kuching through my eyes or lenses in this case.
The Hainanese Building along Carpenter Street
The new government complex to be completed by the end of the year
Fort Margaritha (i think). Taken during the River Cruise.
Forts to protect Kuching from invasion
You pay RM0.40 to cross the river with these boats
Brooke Dockyard. When Bee and myself saw Brooke Dockyard, we were so excited because during my internship, the company had a large project with Brooke Dockyard where the fabrication of a now running platform took place. But we were so surprised at the state and condition of the building. No way my company was going to let a place like Brooke Dockyard which looked like it was falling into pieces to handle such an important task. We later learnt that they have relocated and this was a very very very very old site. Phew....
We see children playing and taking baths here
The state Mosque. I love the picture because the granduer of the building is futher accuented with the dark clouds and water
Kuching Hilton
A really expensive service apartment which i forgot its name. Superman was not impressed with the way it was designed.
Khatulistiwa Cafe
Buddha on the pillar of a Chinese Temple
Look at the intricate sculpture
The altar
A completely random picture. Look at the number of summonses piling on up the car windscreen!

the riverside at Kuching is way better than the riverside here in Malacca. It`ll be nice if you walk along it during the night.
