Rich is currently lost in his book "The Kite Runner" and will hopefullly post some pictures soon. Yesterday we switched from our nasty dirty budget hotel, to a really great guesthouse with a nice community feel, from which I'm writing right now. They've got games, a library, internet, daily papers, a cafe, and a rooftop bar where I may actually go and watch some World Cup hulabaloo. We are two of very few Westerners here, and in Kuching at all it seems. There are plenty of tourists, but they seem to mostly be from other places in Malaysia, and from other east asian countries like Singapore and Hong Kong. It's funny to be in a city and have passerbys get all excited to be able to say "Hello, how are you" and practice their English.
After taking our readjustment day yesterday, we rented a motorbike today and went to the Sunday market, which is supposed to be the best market in Sarawak. It was fun (although nothing compared to the Bangkok weekend market), and we ate some laksa.

Then we got our cat groove on. We drove up to the cat museum which is pretty much what you'd think it is, then got some roti canai to eat, then drove around town in search of cat statues.
Tomorrow we're heading up to Bako National Park to do some hiking, and see some Borneo wildlife, hopefully.
