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.
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. 😂
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
Such a civilized and happy state. I wish I could go to the 'open house' It sounds so much fun. Keep it up people of Sarawak! Great video Little Chinese. All the best!
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.
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.
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.
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.
One of the problems I am encountering is that after I watch your video of a place I want to go to that place, and I am watching a video a day, which means the list of places I want to go is getting very long. Anyhow, great video, again you manage to make friends with locals to your (and probably their) benefit. Lovely trip, thanks
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...
@@littlechineseeverywhere hahaha... Fuzhou gangster...yeah...sibu is popular with its gangsterisme but trust me, you may find lots of nice and friendly people there too. You may feel comfortable walking around in Sibu as Chinese locals are everywhere....
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.
those little citrus fruit you call orange is actually Lime or maybe calamasi.. orange are large citrus fruit very sweet.. Lime calamasi and lemons are very sour..
We have been watching your videos every day. Watching in order. We absolutely love them. I told everyone I know to watch them, too. You are so brave to travel alone. The content you share is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your travels with us! ❤️
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.
I'm still binge watching past episodes! Hence late comment! Yan you have a way for word, that's why your narrations is so good! Your comment about those eggs being look poisonous is gold!
I never go to Kuching before, and I really enjoy watching your journey to this city. Thanks for sharing if us. Have a nice trips and stay safe. Greetings from Singapore.
Great to see your early efforts. Your basic tool is your personality; your interest in people sparks their interest in you, resulting in charming interactions.
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.
Hello from CA. Really enjoy a solo woman interacting with locals! Looking forward to your video on China, Chinese, & culture, food, etc. I studied dance in Indonesia and traveled alone all over the islands, stayed in Singapore to get acupuncture, food in Malaysia and tribal culture in Kalimantan. Safer than the US. Thank you 4 adventure!
Wow only now in this vlog did i know you came to Kuching thats my hometown. Ive never imagined you'd come this far away. I would had like to take a photo with you. I hope you had an enjoyable trip here. enjoyed your trip here. Ive been following your video trips around the world and really learn a lot from the information in them. Thank you courageous lady.
The little grandma traded an apple for half the egg😁👍. Spicy foods and friendly people in this Town. Those guys were better the professional guides. Or were they🤷 Nice atmosphere in the eating places too. Good vid, Thanks ♥️
Great video :-) the best thing about traveling is eating nice food and meeting friendly locals :-) I am going to Malaysia next year and I can't wait :-)
As a Malaysian, i am proud to see how the gentlemans spent the time to bring you around, sharing all the knowledge. Just feel shame for the laksa stall operator, too calculate with the noodles...she wont lose anything just to give few more strains of noodle to customer
Love it that you make friends so easily that they go out of their way to show you around! You are far from being an introvert as you had said you are in another video 😃
You give a really kind and peaceful vibe , really peaceful and positive atmosphere around you , your videos are amazing and you and your heart is beautiful!!!
Unexpectedly your video came up in my feed. I am from Sarawak, now living in Australia. If you are still there, do visit Cultural Village. Thank you for your video. I miss my hometown
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.
14:57 ... there's an error in the translation/subtitles : what the man says if their ancestors origin is from Fujian, then they speak "Fujian-dialect" which in China & Taiwan is more commonly known as Minnan dialect, and NOT Fuzhou dialect. Most of the Fujian migrants to SE Asia come form the Xiamen, Zhangzhou & Quanzhou area in Fujian where the predominant dialect is Minnan, hence most of Malaysian who identifies as Fujian-nese (or Hokkien in Minnan) speaks Minnan which in Malaysia is called Hokkien bcs most don't know that their dialect is called MInnan in China. They instead called their dialect Fujian/Hokkien after the province.
21:30 I believe the the Baba and Nonya are not only the descendants of those who sailed here with Zhenghe, but also when Princess Hang Li Po, the daughter of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty of China married the ruler (locally called the Sultan) of Melaka, Sultan Mansur Shah, there must have been servants, maids, etc who came here with her. Also, warriors like Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat bore the same surname as her, Although there are no records, it is very possible they were related to her and were sent to protect her as well. These servants and maids too must have later married locals and became part of the Peranakan (also known as Baba/Nonya) culture
Dayak from Indonesia here! It was really to see this perspective on Borneo. Malaysian dayaks are so similar and yet also very different from Indonesian dayaks, even though we are from thw same island!
Kuching is my home town but i live in Australia perth. Thank you for showing beautiful landmarks in kuching. Cat city also known as land's of Hornbills ( big prehistoric birds in south east Asia)
Kuching is one of my favorite cities. If you come there again try Black Bean Coffee in Ewe Hai Street. Chinese owned and run. Their espresso is the best I have ever tasted.
And the minority races can't speak malay fluently and acting like they are being discriminated whereas they're the one who deliberately isolated themselves
I love your videos as always! As a musician however....I ask that you find more interesting music if you're going to play it continuously. Other than that.....keep up the Great work!
Tan Sri P Ramlee was more than just a singer. He was also actor, producer, director, composer, etc. His wife was another very famous Malaysian singer and actress named Saloma. In Kuala Lumpur, there is a beautiful bridge built and named after her. She had the smallest waist among the women during her time. When the Museum Negara (National Museum) in KL held an exhibition about her, special mannequins had to be made to display her clothes because the standard ones were too "fat".
20:59, he says Kueh Chap or 淉汁, which is the mixed dish with the pork intestine, skin, tofu, and pork meat. Bidayuh and Iban are not the same, but they're all under the same umbrella of indigenous people called Dayaks. Similar how we're all Chinese, but also differentiate between Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka, etc.
19:30 The easiest way to pour the lime into the laksa is to first squeeze the juice into the spoon, then slowly drain it onto the laksa, while blocking the seeds with the chopsticks so they do not fall into the bowl.
I am from Kuching. Here is a translation for what transpired in the Malay language between 15:40 and 16:34 of your video.

@@littlechineseeverywhere As the old adage about not waking up a person who is pretending to sleep.
The English media is controlled by the Americans and the British, so the coverage of China is mostly negative.
Same in the USA. 😂but we can see that China is doing better than 90% of the cities here.

20:56的分别是哥罗面（kolo mee）古晋特色美食通常是面搭配叉烧和猪肉碎，然后是叻沙（laksa）砂捞越叻沙的味道有别于马来西亚其他地方的叻沙，砂捞越叻沙加了sambal让叻沙的风味更甚，第三个是粿什（kueh chap）就是那盘潮州卤味搭配上用米做成的粿和卤汁的美食，在三哩的粿什比较知名，
Hello from CA. Really enjoy a solo woman interacting with locals! Looking forward to your video on China, Chinese, & culture, food, etc. I studied dance in Indonesia and traveled alone all over the islands,

Good of the uncles to spend time to explain to you the native tribes there.
Wowww such an amazing and underrated TH-camr lots of love from India, keep up doing your great work 😊😊

She's so lucky to get a personal short free tour by accident 😅
Great video :-) the best thing about traveling is eating nice food and meeting friendly locals :-) I am going to Malaysia next year and I can't wait :-)
As a Malaysian, i am proud to see how the gentlemans spent the time to bring you around, sharing all the knowledge.
Just feel shame for the laksa stall operator, too calculate with the noodles...she wont lose anything just to give few more strains of noodle to customer
I think a recipe that has stood the test of time and is still popular must have its fixed proportion of ingredients
I was in Kuching from 23 oct til 31st and absolutely love my time there. Glad to be watching your channel reminiscing my good times!
Welcome to Malaysia. Am glad that you like to explore Malaysia......Penang, Sarawak, etc.
Love it that you make friends so easily that they go out of their way to show you around! You are far from being an introvert as you had said you are in another video 😃
gotta give props to those two random uncles you met on the boat, all of a sudden they became your tour guide XD
I JUST FOUND SOME OF THE WONDERFUL VIDEOS THAT YOU MADE IN MALAYSIA - MUCH THANKS
He's correct, mainly Chinese in here from Fujian or Guangdong... only a few population from other place like my Grandpa is from Shandong province
Does Shandong dialect sound like Hakka? My late father told me Shandong folks talk like Hakka.
And why do you have malay name not chinese name

Thank you :)
This is another great video log. It is one of my favorites.
My last visit to Sarawak was 2012, missed the food, people, nature. Looking forward to cover not only Kuching but the interior as well :-0
Shoutout to the uncle and brother for showing you around my city. 😁
You give a really kind and peaceful vibe , really peaceful and positive atmosphere around you , your videos are amazing and you and your heart is beautiful!!!

Most of the Fujian migrants to SE Asia come form the Xiamen, Zhangzhou & Quanzhou area in Fujian where the predominant dialect is Minnan, hence most of Malaysian who identifies as Fujian-nese (or Hokkien in Minnan) speaks Minnan which in Malaysia is called Hokkien bcs most don't know that their dialect is called MInnan in China. They instead called their dialect Fujian/Hokkien after the province.

21:30 I believe the the Baba and Nonya are not only the descendants of those who sailed here with Zhenghe, but also when Princess Hang Li Po, the daughter of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty of China married the ruler (locally called the Sultan) of Melaka, Sultan Mansur Shah, there must have been servants, maids, etc who came here with her. Also, warriors like Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat bore the same surname as her, Although there are no records, it is very possible they were related to her and were sent to protect her as well. These servants and maids too must have later married locals and became part of the Peranakan (also known as Baba/Nonya) culture
These 2 gentlemen are very helpful taking you around MalaySIYA.
Wow that was such a great authentic experience love the videos
You were in Malaysia!!! Hope you enjoyed and had a good stay
Great vlog and really enjoy watching, keep it up 👍💪
Wonderful people. I really enjoyed this video. :)
Dayak from Indonesia here! It was really to see this perspective on Borneo. Malaysian dayaks are so similar and yet also very different from Indonesian dayaks, even though we are from thw same island!
Hi Yan. Really love this amazing video though I myself from Malaysia but haven't visited Kuching Sarawak or East Malaysia.
my respect to uncle and abang!
Kuching is my home town but i live in Australia perth. Thank you for showing beautiful landmarks in kuching. Cat city also known as land's of Hornbills ( big prehistoric birds in south east Asia)
Kuching is one of my favorite cities. If you come there again try Black Bean Coffee in Ewe Hai Street. Chinese owned and run. Their espresso is the best I have ever tasted.
Another really great video from you. I really enjoy how you navigate doing local things. Cheers and adventure on!
Sarawak is truly a place where different races live in harmony. Not like west Malaysia where the majority race is not so friendly to others
🙏💓
And the minority races can't speak malay fluently and acting like they are being discriminated whereas they're the one who deliberately isolated themselves

Tan Sri P Ramlee was more than just a singer. He was also actor, producer, director, composer, etc. His wife was another very famous Malaysian singer and actress named Saloma. In Kuala Lumpur, there is a beautiful bridge built and named after her. She had the smallest waist among the women during her time. When the Museum Negara (National Museum) in KL held an exhibition about her, special mannequins had to be made to display her clothes because the standard ones were too "fat".
Welcome to sarawak… share ur story to the world about sarawak
一个人的旅行超赞。👍你很幸运遇到了好人不然一个人旅游古晋不方便，古晋的交通并不方便。
20:59, he says Kueh Chap or 淉汁, which is the mixed dish with the pork intestine, skin, tofu, and pork meat.
Bidayuh and Iban are not the same, but they're all under the same umbrella of indigenous people called Dayaks. Similar how we're all Chinese, but also differentiate between Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka, etc.
bro.thank you! unusual vlog- talk you latre- 💪
谢谢两位好心大哥
14:57 那兒說的「什麼“市”人」其實是什麼“邑”人（福州十邑）。本地人有的不認得那個字，就讀作“色”，也由於接觸其他省份的人不多，所以這個“色”也代表了籍貫。當人家問你是「什麼“色”人」的時候，就是問你祖籍是哪兒、是什麼籍貫的人。我祖籍山東煙台，自小每次被問起我的籍貫，就會被反問「廣東？」或「上海？」。🤭近幾年才開始遇到一些聽過或知道山東省這地方的本地人。
19:30 The easiest way to pour the lime into the laksa is to first squeeze the juice into the spoon, then slowly drain it onto the laksa, while blocking the seeds with the chopsticks so they do not fall into the bowl.
I can person vouch for that! Lovely happy people.!
