Travel To Malaysia September 27th, 2009

kuching2
I want to tell you a little about the town where I live now, okay already 8 years old, somehow when I am allowed to stay here. Of course permitted by the Malaysian government and YME, because every 2 years I extend permission to stay here, because the husband was hired by the government of Sarawak is a 2 year, whether this year will be extended or not, we just said to wait.
During his stay here, of course ups and downs of my family must have experienced, but I think a lot of dislike rather than grief, since it wrote to stay here at home, if home must have escaped from the first, aka home.

What makes me feel at home, except of course the income her husband had always clear arrival (per month), is due to the small population, alias city is not too crowded, like Jakarta for example.

Initially it quiet, 8 years ago, but this akhir2 I’ve felt improvement, aka start no traffic on the streets at certain jam2, such as morning, afternoon and evening.

That’s all the time left for school, work, , and come home from school and home work. But than in Jakarta, my congestion in Kuching well its not there. When my husband got home from work at 5 lantern (right), well until the home could be at 5.30, though the distance is the office home with 15 minutes’ walk. This is exactly stuck, but it has not apa2 than Jakarta.

Time off work, it is time to pick up the kids after school (the public schools, cuman school half a day), then after the kids come home from school, or drive instead of school children (who can jam in the afternoon) can rest a little at home, aka can follow-up eat lunch at home, one can even take a nap at home.

So how nice to live in Kuching, can take a nap for 2’s father. So for us who had been living in Jakarta, seemed first live alone, which no hurry, safe and peaceful.

Besides love, of course there is grief, grief is the relationship between the two countries, one often feels in the public treatment in Kuching, when relations between the two countries are problematic, then, we often hear people complain, or mocking our country, or Indonesia, although they sometimes do not know, that we people of Indonesia (eg an elevator).

For example the problem of smoke (or better known here by the term jerebu), now often we become bulan2an, that we were wrong, and certainly we often say, if you do not want to smoke, well do not take the wood (

About, about food, we were a little difficult at first to adapt, but a long, all the food much can or even used to go in our stomachs, although our daily cooking more often of course Indonesia. Indonesian food is similar to Malaysian food, but really it’s so much different. What we feel, is a Malaysian food is not too much variation, while the Indonesian cuisine so many variations, so we often miss the cuisine of Indonesia.

About language, we have a chance anak2 attending (government – the country) but there is also a private school in, if a school in the country, he pandailah Sarawak languages, Malyasia and English, is a private (advent) only good English, should also good at Mandarin, our kids just can not handle it well.

We’ve been through days Kingdom (Idulfitri) 4 times in Kuching this, we do not feel too lonely, far away from you, because each visit is very tight, the Christians, Chinese, Muslims will be visiting on this great day, so when the day Lunar New Year, or Gong Xi Fat Coi we will many invitations to visit you this Chinese in Kuching. So between the religious fabric very closely, too.

So quick story of Kuching city we had lived for almost 8 years, there are some photos that we can include, as a personal collection of photos, hopefully pleasing the reader everything.
