Santubong,Sarawak

Damai Beach, Santubong Sarawak




I love sun and beaches. I had a trip to Damai Beach in Sarawak with my girlfriends.
Damai beach is the main beach resort in Sarawak with pristine sandy beach by the South China Sea and Mount Santubong. Besides than the beach, its good place for hikers.
Damai Beach resort located in Santubong, quit far away from Kuching town.  Nice and cosy resort with front beach view.






Kuching, Sarawak

Kuching
Kuching  is the capital and most populous city of the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. 




Kuching's Waterfront is a 900 meter long esplanade with landscaped park areas and eateries.
There are many heritage buildings along the way including the Square Tower and the Sarawak Steamship Company building. As you stand by the railing looking downwards at the Sarawak River below, you can see the ferry sampans called tambang going back and forth bringing commuters across the river. It is a popular place for locals and foreigners. A lovely area for walking, or just sitting enjoying the view and people watching. If you can venture out at night, it is lit up, as well as the streets, and the food vendors come and set up their stalls selling satay or malay food and other handicraft. Just a note, the price is not cheap.

Malaysia

Malaysia
Lets start with my own country. I love my country and I'm proud to be Malaysian.


Malaysia is a multi-culture with a different races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony.
Malaysia is a gastronomical paradise and also home to hundreds of colourful festivals.
It's no wonder that we love celebrating and socialising. 
People in Malaysia are very laid back, warm and friendly.

Malaysia is divided into 13 states with 3 Federal Territories

Peninsular Malaysia 
  1. Selangor
  2. Johor
  3. Perak
  4. Melaka
  5. Penang
  6. Kelantan
  7. Terengganu
  8. Pahang
  9. Negeri Sembilan
  10. Kedah
  11. Perlis
East Malaysia (Borneo)
  1. Sabah
  2. Sarawak


separated by the South China Sea with 11 states and 2 federal territories (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) in Peninsular Malaysia and two states and 1 federal territory (Labuan) in East Malaysia.

Malaysia's key attractions is the Petronas Twin Tower (452 meters). According to the CTBUH’s official definition and ranking, they were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 until surpassed by Taipei 101, but remain the tallest twin buildings in the world.

Besides than the skyscrapers, we also have beaches, green natures, historical places and many more.
