It has been an epic journey of discovery but as the Autumn festival comes to an end here in Kuching so does my stay. I spent my last day looking at cars. I had heard the cars here are very inexpensive and some cost a whole lot less than in…

I returned to the clinic in the morning to get my second round of rabies vaccination. It was an easy in and out taking no more than 10 minutes total. The cost for second dose was 235 RM. After the vaccination, I went to the Sarawak Botanical Gardens. The gardens…
