To be honest, talking about historic buildings in Malaysia, Kuching City have the most of that building compare to Malacca and George Town but underated in Malaysia because of not much publicity and promotion.
My hometown. Even now that I have lived in Europe for more than 20 years, I will always be a Kuching girl. I return to visit frequently, everytime thinking, damn, this place is awesome. The weather, the food, the nature, the people. Hoping to return one day
Awesome indeed! It's definitely one of the best cities in SouthEast Asia. So relaxed and so many great things to do. I hope to be back one day. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. :-)
Kuching is definitely underrated. Not a party city but does have a number of concerts! I dare say Kuching is a city that knows when to rests. 2:15 No. Kuching is not “discovered” by Brunei sultanate. They tried to rule Sarawak but the people rebelled. After helping Brunei official to fight against it, Brooke was given the land to govern. Brooke DID NOT represented British. He ruled as a private citizen of British. British only ruled Sarawak AFTER the WW2 and roughly for 17 years before Sarawak formed Malaysia together with Sabah, the fed. of Malaya and Singapore (left the federation in 1965). 5:09 Sarawak has 8, the peninsula Malaysia has 10.
Even though it's not a party city, I thought it was nice that there are some nice bars to go to. Thanks for watching and contributing information about the history of Kuching! :-)
@@GringoNation, foreigners usually equate the Brooke with the British empire. The biggest mistake people who come to Sarawak made because of its uniqueness. I don’t think there is a white Rajah ruling other “countries” in the world that lasted for three generations as the Brooke. So, many people probably couldn’t relate… The fact is… Sarawakians had been fighting against and pushing back Brunei rule even before Brooke came into the picture. Sarawakians don’t hate Brooke. He was the founder of modern Sarawak.
@@GringoNation… happy that you’re able to find some bars. Kuching is pretty family-centric, imho. Unfortunately, some people expect Kuching to be like Bangkok instead of cherishing our uniqueness and identity (which is definitely different than Bangkok or Bali).
Welcome to kuching!😃 actually the bridge is design to look like S = Sarawak because kuching is the capital of sarawak. 😁 btw if u got the chance u should try out the pork porridge during midnight around 12.30am at carpenter street... by far the most delicious porridge i've ever eaten.
Oh interesting! I had no idea about the "S" thing. That's super cool. I did not try that specific porridge unfortunately but I certainly had others. Will def try that one next time I'm in town. Thanks for watching! :-)
Thanks for watching! More to come on Kuching. I am in KK right now and I'm about to watch your video on top things to eat. :-)) Congrats on your channel!
Thanks for watching! In my other video, I went to watch Kuching FC and also tried Sarawak Laksa and it was incredible. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. :-)
@@keangwooichoo6138 Not just recently. Remember Atap Street? There was a big fire during the Brookes' rule. That's why Padungan Road was built with brick and have a wider road.

My thoughts exactly. And I thought Kuching was much more enjoyable than Malacca or George Town. Thanks for watching, Harry!

A few old shops got burnt down at carpenter street.

Not just recently.
Remember Atap Street?
There was a big fire during the Brookes' rule. That's why Padungan Road was built with brick and have a wider road.
Where are you from brother?
Brazil, my friend!
@@GringoNation ahhh you speak Portuguese
@@keangwooichoo6138 that’s right!
Be careful of the rivers in sarawak..filled wt killer crocodiles
I would've liked to see a croc (from a safe distance of course)
Yes.
Luckily there are not too many 2 legged Buaya.
