I was born in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. But I immigrated to USA at a young age. Now that I have 10+ years until retirement, Kuching may just be the perfect City in Malaysia to Retire. I Love the people and culture in Malaysia. The weather is always Nice and hospitality of the locals are out of this world. Oh, also the Food in Malaysia has something for everyone. Love it!

Great information; thank you for posting. What website did you use to find the listings for the properties? I'm planning to visit Kutching and need to find reasonable accommodations. Love what you are doing and I am a new subscriber💝

Great food in Sarawak. We slow travel (1 month at a time)and were in Kuching last September. This was our 2nd tme there. After 2 weeks of 4, the wife said, "Let's go." 😂 She was getting bored. It's big in area, but the city itself isn't that big. We took Grab to a lot of malls, but some looked like it was closing down. We just got home today from another month in Malaysia (Penang, Taiping, Ipoh, KL). We go quite often to escape the cold in the US and jump into the oven that is Malaysia. 🥵

don't forget Bako National Park, Bengoh Dam, Malaysia China Friendship Park and Bau town. Places of attraction in Bau : Tasik Biru, Siniawan Night Food Bazaar (weekend), Fairy Cave, Wind Cave, Paku Rock Maze Garden.

Recently been to Kuching for one day (business) visit. Have to say I am impressed (very clean!) and will for sure be back in future to explore more as a tourist! It also doesn't "feel" like Malaysia when I was there, if you know what I mean....... Looking forward to the next video!
