I'm back in Kuching (means cat in Malay) and it feels great after being away for 11 years.  The city has grown and now has clean modern suburbs; high rises; and most likely, traffic jams and a rush hour.  The great thing is that the old city centre is much as I remember it.  The boardwalk, water taxis, Chinese temples, and tiny colourful pastel shops remain.  It still has character!  Hooray!!!
