Rainforest Music Festival
baby and i head over to kuching last weekend... our first trip to the land of the hornbills, land of the cats, land of the white pepper, land of the headhunters, etc
our main purpose was to go to the rainforest music festival. it was interesting and thoroughly enjoyable.... i like the mongolian troupe the most... their throat singing is truly magnificent. the rain spoils the korean group and the canadian group are just funny. there must be over 5000 ppl there.
kuching must be swamped with tourists over the weekend. everywhere we go, we see tourists... and after awhile, we see the same tourists here and there.
there's not many touristy places to go. however, there are a lot of museums in kuching town area. we went to at least 4... the chinese history museum, the old museum, the islamic museum, the textile museum. would have add the cat museum in our list if it is closer.
we stayed at this fabulous lodge called Singgahsana. nope, it is not the same as the run down Singgahsana Hotel beside A&W in PJ. This backpacker lodge is far more nicer. brightly colour, yellow & orange, it looks more like an art gallery in the front than a backpacker lodge. well, one of the owner of this backpacker owns 2 art gallery, one in Kuching and another in KL. they use good quality mattresses (Vono), bed frames (not those sloppy and springing ones) and each room is uniquely different from the other. We stayed in the dorm for one night as yours truly forgot to book for that night and in a double room for the rest of our trip. in our double bed room, they have created a loft above the hallway. it's lovely and make a nice day bed.
ah, i think kuching is way better than say... KK. they have lovely cafes everywhere.
