A morning walk around the city near Crowne Plaza in Kuching, Sarawak

















Walking around the city makes me confirmed that Kuching is one of the cleanest cities in Malaysia.

If you are visiting East Malaysia, you should not leave Malaysia without paying Kuching a visit. You will not regret it.
