Homeward bound >> Sarawak snapshots 08


It's time to go home.

Replete with hearty, lip-smack local chow, local hospitality (courtesy of our Kuching friend) and engaging sights from nature, we were a little reluctant to make our back to Kuching airport.

But, as the Chinese saying goes, tian xia mei you bu san de yan xi (rough trans: there is no such thing as an endless banquet). So, we bid our Sarawak friends goodbye and boarded the plane home.

Hunting for oranges >> Sarawak snapshots 04


After our drive and seafood lunch in Qing Shan, one of our friends, a Kuching native, had a craving for fresh fruits, in particular, sweet oranges.

So, we dropped by the market.
