On the 28th of May 2009, three suspicious-looking persons were seen walking up and down the Kuching waterfront shooting away at people, newspaper stands, hotdog vendors and even at little old ladies.
What were you thinking?
The Kuching waterfront today
It was a great evening for a photo-shoot, so I packed up my photo gear, and with the company of my two ‘accomplices’ (my siblings actually…), each armed with a camera, we had a splendid time learning ‘real’ photography, which was nothing like shooting indiscriminately at all things around. The photos bearing this site’s watermark were captured using the Lumix DMC LX-3, unless otherwise specified. In this post, I promise you, there will be more pictures, and less talking, so happy viewing!
Kuching in the olden days
The Tua Pek Kong temple
The Kuching Hilton. In the foreground is the James Brooke Bistro.
HarbourView Hotel, just behind the temple. To the right is the Cineplex building.
The Waterfront. To the left is Riverbank Suites, just opposite of Riverside Majestic and adjacent to Hotel Margherita.
One of the numerous riverboat ‘taxis’ that will take you across the river for less than MYR 1.00 each way.
Sarawak River Cruise with the new state legislative council building in the background.
Kuching CBD.
I don’t know what this is, but it has been here for as long as I can remember…should check it out one day.

The Astana, which was built in 1870 by the second white Rajah Charles Brooke, as a bridal gift for his wife.
