Kuching is a pleasant city to visit.If you go to Semenggok,where orangutangs are rehabilit-
ed,donīt go with an agency for RM40,when you
can take a bus for RM3.The only thing is that
you have to walk 1,5 km. Donīt miss the Cat
Museum. Itīs a museum youīll probably canīt see
anywhere else in the world. Bako National Park
is a must. Many trails in the rainforest. Beware
of the leeches. Donīt miss Sarawak Museum. A good
place a rainy day. Green Hill Corner is a good
place to eat noodles for RM3. Nice staff.

To travel around the resort was easy as there are free shuttle services to bring us from the Cultural Village to the Damai Lagoon Resort. However, we would prefer to see more different variety of restaurants in the vincinity eg. Japanese, Korean, Chinese etc.

Kuching is a lovely town. Such a pity about the weather! It rained for 4 days.
The Chinese vegetarian restaurant not far from the hotel was excellent. They weigh what you have on your plate-a brilliant idea.

Everything is within the walking distance from the hotel e.g. Cultural Village and waterfalls. Seafod restaurant is 10 to 15 minutes drive. The restaurant will provide complementary shuttles.
The jungle trackking is relatively easy for newcomers. But I think they should label the exotic trees so that the visitors can identify them.
There is no grocery shop around the hotel but you can us the hotel's shop (but a bit expensive and limited selection).

The Bako trip is well worth it, best to stay overnight in the park, otherwise not enough time to really see the wildlife. Much cheaper to arrange yourself through the forestry office than to pay extremely inflated price offered by the travel agencies for two day Bako tours.

Kuching is a very laid back and pretty place, although visiting in the rainy season (roughly Nov - Feb) is perhaps not such a great idea. Not so many tourists around so not all of the tours are running and you have to expect to get a lot of drenchings!
Bako and Gunung Gading National Parks are both well worth visiting, and I heard good things about the longhouse trips. Go for at least 2 days though because it is a long road trip to get there, so the daytrips would be very tiring.

shuttle-service provided by the hotel takes you for 20 ringgit to town and back, it takes about 45 minutes.
near the holiday inn and crowne plaza theres a few plaza's to do some shopping and on the street along the riverside, theres loads of nice handicraft shops
very close to the hotel is the sarawak cultural village, which is very nice to see.

The cocktail in Rentap Hotel is quite lousy. The percentage of alkohol is too little that we cant even feel the taste of alkohol.
