Tune Hotel Waterfront Kuching Review
My first trip to Kuching, Sarawak last year with Rachel was a short and a memorable one. It was one of the many unplanned trips of my life. I would not say it was a disaster but just that we ran out of luck. We missed quite a number of tourist attractions due to public holiday and our poor planning. Trust me, we will definitely go back there again.
Since I bought the AirAsiaGo package, the package is inclusive of flight and hotel stay. We stayed at …

The India Street, Kuching, Sarawak, MALAYSIA
This was totally unexpected. We stumbled upon India Street during our previous visit to Kuching. Our main purpose was to try some local food at the nearby food court; which is a few steps away for India Street.

As we met him during the …
