First Time In Kuching Sarawak On Borneo 🇲🇾 Swiss Family Travels The World

After that bad experience on Kochi Airport we managed to have a great flight to Kuching in Malaysia and things went smoothly. Our bodies and mind still function on India time but it is not necessarily a bad thing. In a few months we will return to India and I do not less look forward to it than ever before. But for now we are exited to be here in Borneo, Malaysia. We do not have real plans formulated but I am sure it will be interesting here. Of course for the first video we went to the famous waterfront in Kuching and took a look around. Let´s how that went. Oh yes, first is first, for breakfast we had - how else could it be - some roti canai, or as they call them in India "parrotha" at a Pakistani restaurant.
Anyway, let´s try to give this video a "like" and maybe even a comment, I would love to hear from you.

Well, thank you very much for sharing this fun video, Sir. And don't forget to try Sarawak laksa, Kolok Mee, Kek Lapis...these are Sarawak specialties.

[@albertgeorge4248]

Welcome to Sarawak.The people of Sarawak are not the same as the people of peninsula.They are much more friendly and respectful of outsiders.They don’t look at people’s religion and race..In Sarawak Malays.Ibans and Chinese people can eat at one restaurant different cook.And it’s time to celebrate Raya.Gawai Dayak Chinese new year.We visit each other house……

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes I noticed that, very nice

[@arulcastro5013]

Happy to see you and your family Happy. Thanks for the fabulous video.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Cheers mate

[@hplagt6880]

Since you are in Kuching, try our local food like, kolo mee, Sarawak laksa, kueh chap. Go to Carpenter Street for food. Visit the Sarawak Culture Museum, the largest in Malaysia.
You should come back at night when its more lively and there's food also. The DUN is our local "parlimentary" building. The fort next to the DUN is actually a museum dedicated to the White Rajah.
FYI, there are 28 ethnics groups in Sarawak.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Duly noted

[@szziy]

People often forgot Kek lapis Sarawak a.k.a Sarawak layer cake!! They must try this one too when come here

[@deltaforceUSAret]

6:25 made my day!!!! Love the kids, especially the baby. 😊

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks mate

[@user-vb5qo1wp6j]

Orange ulu.. Very humble and friendly people. Kelabits, kenyah, kayan, berawan.. Many more.

[@yvesthesleeve]

ah yes sure

[@spincube5734]

I appreciate the historical & cultural info you talk about in this video. It makes the vlog even more interesting. Thanks !!

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks a bunch

[@kidgames]

Kuching mostly malay, then Chinese and dayak. But if you taken the whole sarawak, the biggest ethnic would be iban followed by Chinese and malay. But anyway here in sarawak we are all unite Mostly we can mixed and seat together. Glad you enjoy your stay here in Kuching. Maybe next time you can travel other parts of Sarawak😊

[@yvesthesleeve]

We are already in Sibu actually, check out our trip on TH-cam

[@aniqaliq7291]

[@flyingfox3766]

Moonshine youre finally in my hometown! 🎉🥳🎊.. laksa sarawak is a must!… and also the borneo museum!

[@yvesthesleeve]

Will try

[@p.r.e.y.]

Don't say will try.. you must visit the heritage place in Sarawak. Welcome to my hometown, Kuching. Enjoy the environment, the food, the scene too.the people is friendly those too. I love my hometown. I miss my hometown too because now I stay in Southern Malaysia . Johor baharu. Cheer, mate.. enjoy your trip..

[@MardhiahJames]

Gula apong is originally from sarawak so when you see aiskrim gula apong you must try. It's quite similar to gula melaka which is some type of local brown sugar. And also kek lapis Sarawak which is speciality only from sarawak. They bake the layer cake one layer by layer and it's very special. Laksa Sarawak, Mee kolok, and when you eat Nasi campur there try the buah dabai and Sayur midin.
Anyway, "orang asli" is translation of "native people" so all the native people in Malaysia are called orang asli. One of them is that sir tribe orang ulu kelabit. Others are Iban, bidayuh, melanau and etc..
And please please please don't let your children or even you swim in the rivers in sarawak, the crocodiles there are not very friendly 😂😅
Oh and you can show your kids hornbills, they are from there. that bird is sarawak pride ❤

[@yvesthesleeve]

I sure will not let them swiss there, thanks. We did see lots of hornbills on Pulau Pankor, that is very special, maybe I see some here.

[@MrQalamQabut]

6:25 "Saya suka... saya suka..."

Hi. Welcome to Malaysia again. Nice family and cute kids.
Just for info, Kuching is the capital city of Sarawak.
You also can experience towns and city up north, that is Bintulu and Miri (famous for both Oil and Gas production since). Miri was famous for Oil exploration since early 20th century by the She'll company from Holland or Netherlands.
There are many ethnics of Sarawak besides Iban. They are Bidayuh, Kelabit (north Sarawak), Kenyah, Kaya, Biasaya.
Then Melanau.
Hope you can explore Sarawak more to experience variety of cultures and... beautiful people.

[@yvesthesleeve]
