| Strange Taste Horsebeans: <b>Kuching</b>: Beware of Extreme Weather Posted: 21 Nov 2013 04:12 AM PST Kuching is the largest city in East Malaysia, the capital of Sarawak state and is on the island of Borneo, a large island that Malaysia shares with Indonesia and Brunei. Sometimes parachuting into a foreign city clicks and sometimes it clunks. Kuching has been partly clunk. For one thing I picked the wrong hotel. We stayed at the Citadines, they're a Singaporean chain that I've had good luck with in the past in Bangkok and Tokyo. But the Citadines Upland Kuching is in a terrible location for anything downtown, one that I should have noticed from a map. The Citadines Upland Kuching is located on a 4 lane divided boulevard halfway between the airport and downtown and is central to nearly nothing except an under rented mall across the boulevard. There are no sidewalks. Although on the 10th floor we awake daily to the sounds of chickens and especially roosters. The hotel staff told us that there was no bus to town. "Taxi only, we call for you!" said the check-in clerk. But there is a bus. From our 10th floor window I saw a beat up green bus taking on passengers at a covered bus stop right outside the hotel. We gave it a try and it worked, sort of. The K-8 bus meandered through the city and took us to a downtown street that doubles as the local bus station.
The next morning we were waiting for the bus to take us into Kuching when a small beaten up beige Toyota van stopped and the others waiting with us at the bus stop scampered aboard so we did too. It took us downtown to the same street as the bus, we paid our fare of 1.50RM and scampered out for our morning broiling.
 But the shade and the breeze as the boat headed up and then down river was so refreshing in the stifling afternoon heat that we took the river cruise twice. The second time we had run into a semi retired tour guide while we waited for one of those city buses that never come. Richard Yeo gave us a river tour seemingly just out of personal pleasure. He seemed to be an all round great guy who answered all of our questions about Kuching and helped to turn our trip here around. That's him with Eleanor below.
