Short List of Adventure: In-and-Out of Kuching

2013, one step ahead after the false story of doomsday. Let us begin this new year with lovely adventures. Why not? Having a trip is tremendously awesome, with the hot gaze of sunny eyes, the kiss of smoothy breeze and few swing of sandy beaches. Since I didn't go out really well at somewhere, I just know my birthplace quite well, so let's have a look what's best at these great places ^^

1. Annah Rais Longhouse

Located 60 km from Kuching City, Annah Rais Longhouse is the large and old Bidayuh tribe's longhouse for more than 80 families. The families are still living in traditional way. It also providing a homestay for guests and experienced the living longhouse's concept, learning their culture then jumped into the water.

2.  Gading Mountain National Park, Lundu.

2 hours journey from Kuching, Gading Mountain is synonym with the wide bloom of rafflesia,  the largest flower in the world. Besides, there are few waterfalls over there; clean, fresh and exciting. It is not hard to reach, I've been there once (school trip duh~). Surprisingly, I didn't see any wildlife there, excluding the bugs. The best part was, I can see the small rafflesia. What a peace and calm place to scream~

5. Semenggoh Wildlife

Do you know Sepilok at Sabah? Yeah, you know that...orang utan, which is no different than Semenggoh. 25 km from Kuching, Semenggoh is the center to rehabilitated and orphaned wild animals taken out from Sarawak jungle, and released back once they cured. The only different thing between Sepilok and Semenggoh is, Semenggoh is not a city zoo to showcasing wild animals in captivity.

12. Kuching: The City Skyline Night View.

After a long journey into a great adventure, Kuching provides you the last card to flip; the night view of the city skyline. Riding exclusive cruises or perahu tambang (sampans), it gives you the last happy breath, enjoying the wonderful night scene over Kuching skyline and the bling-bling lights at Boyan Village. Or, you can sit and relax at the gazebo, having a cup of coffee at Khatulistiwa, and watching the glimmering vista at Malay restaurants over the river. It is easy to get hotels or homestay so there's nothing to lose once you got here. That's how to ended the greatest adventure, y'all~
