Wow.. you met two friendly Malaysians who acted as your tour guide. What comfort to have someone to bring you around and even added history of Kuching. That was great !

So good. You’re such a great tourist. The best type. Meeting the local people and learning so much. You’re also so respectful, intelligent and friendly. Thank you so much. We loved Kuching decades ago and were invited to a durian tasting. It was like a wine tasting. We’re from Australia and were made so welcome.

You had totally distracted the two gentlemen from whatever they were meant to do that day but I bet you had made their day and for many more days to come. Your humanity is exceptional ..well done.

I am a Malaysian living in Zurich since the eighties. Stories about China even in progressive Switzerland has been mainly very negative. All this negativity is new and quite disturbing. I believe it is becos of the meteoric rise of China and age old misguided mistrust. Thumbs up for being china's goodwill ambassador to the world.

The West (governments and their media cronies) had escalated their demonization campaign for the past recent decade which is just a continuation of their "yellow peril" fearmongering in the late 19th century. They can't bear to see China and Chinese to surpass them and dominate the world in influence. 😂

I am from Kuching. Here is a translation for what transpired in the Malay language between 15:40 and 16:34 of your video. Man: She is from China / Woman: So she cannot speak our local language / Man: Of course, she just arrived 3 days ago here, how would she know how to speak our language but she is really from China / Woman: That's true, is she alone? / Man: Yes, she is alone / Other man: She studied in Switzerland and has a doctorate; can become a professor; don't see her small stature / Woman: What is she here for? / Man: On vacation; I was introducing her to our Tan Sri (a title) P. Ramlee, who was famous in the past right? / Woman: Has she ever seen P Ramlee's movies? / Man: Where? / Other woman: They were showing it at the Unity Stadium last night / Woman: How many days is she here? / Man: I don't know (then he asked you how many days you are here) / Man: She is here for 2 weeks / Other man: From Switzerland, she went to Turkey.

Another great video! It really shows how friendly Kuching is. I think it's the friendliest and most harmonious city in Malaysia. My wife is Iban, and around Christmas time they have an "open house. All their friends come visit and they always have Halal food because their Muslim friends stop by. At Chinese New Year, many of my Chinese friends do the same. For Hari Raya we all go visit our Muslim friends. Its nice to see everyone respect each other.

Sarawak is known as the most harmonious state in Malaysia because all races are considered equal, this happens because they have their own political party which is not tarnished by old legacy of race base politics there are also many ethnicity is Sarawak considered the most diverse state, another great video !

Malaysia is one of the few countries which allow political parties to be based on race. THE "M" in UMNO stands for Malays, not Malaysia. It upholds racial concept of Ketuanan Melayu (lit. Malay Supremacy), as well as the dignity of the Malay race, the religion of Islam. Other races are not welcomed to join it.

The eldery man is very knowledgeable. I'm not surprised if he is part of some Chinese clan association from the way he spoke.

My dear 亲爱的，this is not Dragon boat race. This is Sarawak Regatta. The Sarawak Regatta is an annual paddling event held on the Sarawak River in Kuching, Malaysia. The Regatta traces its origins to the era of James Brooke who instituted the use of boat races to settle conflict between tribes in Sarawak.

You are right - these look to be Malaysian long boats. However, there is Dragon boat racing that is part of the Sarawak Regatta. Search around for the "Sarawak international dragon boat regatta"

Hello! I am from Bau, Sarawak. At time lapse 18:13 , I recognised the two guys who passed you. Those gentlemen were the directors a huge local community event called What About Kuching that promotes art, culture and lifestyles in the centre of Kuching. You must visit this country in last October and you had missed something bigger! But dont be fred! The event is held in October every year. Perhaps if you want to learn more about the city environment and people, I am persuading you to come next year at the exact month! Love your video and hope to see you vlogging around the city through the lens of a tourist! Terima Kasih! Sincerely, Ryan.

Yes you're right....sarawak a bit special in Malaysia....Enjoy your trip in sarawak and really encouraging by your solo journey so far. Stay safe.

My chinese friend said her father love to watched P Ramlee movies. Sarawakian are very friendly people we have no problem mixing with other races. Some of the coffee shop owned by Chinese but the food stall are Malays.

gotta give props to those two random uncles you met on the boat, all of a sudden they became your tour guide XD

It was so nice to see you had a local tour with two nice fellows. The Hakka gentleman is sure very knowledgeable and very well informed.

Hi, as a local born and grew up in Kuching, Sarawak. I want to clarify where Kuching's origin name comes from. 18:14 where the uncle explains that Kuching in Malay means Cat and thus Kuching got its name from that. I guess everyone knows that Kuching is known as "Cat City" due to the resemblance of the Malay word “kucing”. However, that still doesn’t explain how Kuching got its name. From my knowledge, or from what I've learned. The name Kuching might have derived from Sungai (River) Kuching which was a small stream that flowed from the direction of Kuching Reservoir, east of Wayang Street and emerged between the now Tua Pek Kong Temple and the old Chinese Chamber of Commerce along Thompson Road (now known as Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman) to join Sungai Sarawak. However, the river had since disappeared from the map of Kuching due to the construction of Temple street and the rapid town expansion. As a proud Sarawakian, I would say that we have lived harmoniously for decades along with its unique food culture, its beautiful colonial buildings and its vast natural attractions. So thank you for your layback video and to the two kind uncles bringing you around the city.

It is only because you are sincere and genuine, talking with people honestly and curious.

I m glad you had a chance to visit my home state... Sarawak and you are so lucky bumped into 2 gentlemen guys who brought you walking around... I must say that Chinese uncle was very informative, very kind and very friendly.... Hope to see you coming back visiting Sarawak in the future. There are lots of local sarawakian Chinese communities in Sibu... A 3 hrs trip toward northern part of Kuching...

This girl is so fortunate ... to meet these friendly Uncles from KL, accompanying her. They were so informative and providing her with endless rich knowledge on history; food and places of Kuching. I am sure both must have read aplenty about Kuching, before they arrived. This is the right way when flying from afar, to make their trip worthwhile. Sadly to say ... not many of our local Uncles, can explain and share so many good informations. Thanks to them ... and hoped the 03 of them had a good trip. To her, I hoped she will bump into more friendly Kuchingites and treasure this memorial trip. Obviously, she only have to ask any one (any race). Do enjoy our food too.

I stayed at the hotel on the shore of the river. That is a awesome area and they do daily cleaning and trash pickup. They really keep there place clean. Happy to see their pride.

Amazing tour. You did a great job in communicating and meeting these lovely people. Fantastictic video!

You are lucky my dear,to meet those uncle's and they gave u the best hospitality around our hometown👍🏼

What a heartwarming journey through Kuching's vibrant spirit! Your genuine interactions with the locals perfectly capture the essence of Kuching's warm hospitality. From the Sacred Tree's serenity to the bustling Kuching River Boat Racing, you've painted a vivid picture of this captivating city. The encounters with Malaysian Chinese and the exploration of Kuching Indian Street showcase the city's rich cultural tapestry. It's refreshing to see these authentic moments, from savoring delicious laksa to visiting the Mazu Temple, rather than overly polished shots. Your video beautifully portrays the genuine kindness and welcoming nature of Kuching's people. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable experiences come from unplanned encounters with strangers. Overall, this video is a delightful ode to Kuching's charm and its hospitable people. It's a must-watch for anyone seeking a glimpse into the heart of this vibrant Malaysian city.

20:54 i think what he mentioned was "kolo mee" and 20:58 the 3rd food that he mentioned "? ?" is kueh chap,really loved your video and coverage on kuching! keep it up! 😊

A warm welcome to the City where I was born. There are still many other nice Cities to cover here in the island of Borneo. FYI, there's a replica of a Tulou here in Borneo in the Indonesian city of Pontianak, comprising mostly Teochews, which one can take a cheap comfortable bus or another nearby Hakka city called Singkawang. If the timing is right you can do the Gawai Loop covering many towns/cities all over Borneo and learn all the different ethnicities of this Island.

Another really great video from you. I really enjoy how you navigate doing local things. Cheers and adventure on!

Another walk down memory lane... I led 4 or 5 expeditions in Sarawak and Sabah, combining the two provinces. I think you would make a great expedition leader as it is clear you do your research and pass it on in your video, as well as having great communication skills. My expeditions were mainly in or on the margins of the jungle regions, in particular jungle trekking through the national parks such Gunung Mulu or climbing Kinabalu mountain in Sabah. The mountain is worth a climb, but nowadays it is very controlled and has to be booked in advance. But if you get the chance it is worth the experience and very organized. Many of you videos cover countries I have visited, too, so I am enjoying them very much. This video I like especially as it reminded me of the days when, just like you, I would wonder about the towns and discover the local people and culture.

You were in Malaysia!!! Hope you enjoyed and had a good stay
