Kuching

As the afternoon sun begins its gentle descent over Kuching, painting the Sarawak River in hues of orange and purple around 5:55 PM, a pleasant warmth still lingers in the air, softened by a refreshing breeze that hints at the evening ahead. The city is buzzing with a relaxed energy, as locals head to the bustling waterfront for a leisurely stroll or to grab some *kolo mee* from a hawker stall, the aroma of which is starting to drift through the streets. You'll notice families gathering, often sharing stories and laughter over a cup of *teh tarik*, a beloved frothy tea, as they unwind from the day.
