The another place i had visited in the Borneo Island is Kuching, Sarawak. The capital city of Sarawak.Kuching been called the city of cat, because the pronunciation is similar with the pronunciation of "Cat(Kucing)" in Malay Language.
The Attap Street (亚答街)/Jalan Carpenter is tourism place for tourist to buy the souvenir and pepper. The Sarawak Pepper is most famous and nicest in Malaysia. This street is a china town in Kuching. All buildings are old chinese style. Beside the street is a beautiful garden.

There have lot of animals in the jungle, such as Orangutan, beer, hornbill and so on. Cat Museum(Free entry), the museum with a lot cat design collection of Former chief minister of Sarawak. Sarawak Cultural Village(West-Malaysian: RM60, Student Price: RM15) is a "must-go" place for tourist. In the village, there have houses of many races(Malay house, Chinese house, Orang Iban longhouse and so on) in Sarawak. Enjoy their house, culture, lifestyle in the cultural village. It's very beautiful but quite expensive. And It is worthy for visiting.
Sarawak foods are more in noodles. The Sarawak noodles(Kolo Mee) is very famous and nice. It is only RM3.5 per bowl. Besides, the seafood in sarawak is also very delicious and not expensive(compare with West Malaysia). Kolo Mee is a "Must-Try" food in Sarawak. It totally hard to be found in West Malaysia.
Sarawak is very wide. The distance from one place to another place is very long and far. So, need to use around 5days for visiting whole Kuching if you want to. Another difference between Sarawak and west malaysia is every races can have the meal together in the same restaurant, even tough the non-muslim have the non-halal food, because every restaurant will sold the muslim or halal food. That is hard to seen in West Malaysia and it's shown another real style of 1 Malaysia.
