I've already talked about this week's visit to our neighbouring temples.
Otherwise, it has been a week of two halves. One half was the Gawai celebrations (public holidays equal quiet roads and good walking opportunities). The second half was a bit quiet because the Other Tern was a bit crook (but he's perked up a bit now).
On Gawai Monday, we had a really nice walk around the area behind Citadines. Not at all far from us, but pretty much new territory:
There are two other temple-related buildings there, in various stages of construction, but it's all amazingly rural
All very picturesque, though doggier than I would have chosen.
Moving on, and you go past the Islamic Information Centre. We've been here for various talks, but I don't think we've ever seen it in daylight...
So we're back on Jalan Rock by now, and it's great to see that the Indian temple is now making real progress. We've been following this project for years, and it was badly knocked back by covid
On to Saberkas, a commercial centre primarily dedicated to electronics. In all our years in Kuching, this was our first visit... It goes back to the mid-1980s, this one, and it's starting to look a tad run down. But it has made an effort for Gawai:
We rounded off this little expedition with lunch at the Garden Bing, and a quick visit to Kozi Square (also our first time):
So that was a pretty nice Gawai.
We also had a surprisingly photogenic walk around Chonglin Park, which is where we briefly stayed when we first got back:
And now for the rest of the week's gallery:
And so another week rolls by...
