  • Hello friends! After a two hour flight from Jakarta, I've landed in Malaysian Borneo, in the city of Kuching! This city is also the capital of the Sarawak state. I check in to my waterfront hotel and 'm ready to explore this exciting city. My first stop is the Sarawak River to see it in its mid afternoon glory and enjoy a walk along the Darul Hana Bridge. Come with me on this tour of this awesome riverside area while we take in the views and talk about some facts about the city. One point we discuss is whether Kuching was named after a cat or local fruit? Join the discussion! I hope you enjoy my Kuching, Malaysia vlog. If you have any questions about my Malaysia vlog, please comment below and I will get back to you. Enjoy! #malaysia #kuching #sarawak #borneo #türk

    Once again beautiful video, Sam. I enjoy them very much. Well done.
    May I suggest something, you might want to set your camera lens aperture higher so when you were trying to show and explain everybody what's happening at your background, we wouldn't see some blurry pictures. Cheers mate!

    • @hussmeister
      @hussmeister  Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you for the camera suggestion my friend. I will try not to forget in the future. Sometimes I shoot close up with a depth of field to reduce the chance of over exposure caused by the sun. I’m glad you are enjoying the videos Terima Kasih 🙏🏽☺️

    Kuching food is slightly better than Kota Kinabalu food. Both nice !

    • @hussmeister
      @hussmeister  Před 3 měsíci +1

      The food does vary between Kuching and Kota Kinabalu.I found the cuisine in Kuching to be more Chinese inspired while Kota Kinabalu was had native and middle eastern influences. Yes both were nice 🙂

    Read about the history of Sarawak. Founded by James Brooke, the English adventurer who became the White Rajah. His story is inspiring and you will find out why Sarawakians like the English. The Brooke family who ruled the state first 100 years until 1945 were well, “family” not colonists.

    Kuching is cat for the malay dialect of west malaysia (malaya)..The local Malay dialects of Sarawak/Brunei, the word for cat is ‘pusak’ and not Kucing. Thus it is speculated that the name of Kuching city wasn’t originated from the word Cat...

    • @hussmeister
      @hussmeister  Před 3 měsíci

      Hello there friend. Thanks for adding this theory of how Kuching City got its name. After my visit to Kuching I have also heard more theories. Either way Kuching is a great city and I look forward to visiting again ☺️🙏🏽
