Wind Cave, Sarawak
My next trip was to Sarawak's Wind Cave and Fairy Cave which are both located near the town of Bau. Being a popular tourist hotspot, the Wind Cave covers 6.16 hectares, including the cave itself and the surrounding forest. For those who may not know much about Bau, gold mining was the main activity here in the 1840s. Till this day gold mining is still carried out but on a smaller scale. Tourists passing through this town will definitely see the two limesone caves. Bau town is approximately 45 minutes drive away from Kuching. Entrance of the Wind Cave We reached here about 10 am, all geared up and ready. Since we went to two different caves, I am going to break it down into two posts. In this post, I'll talk about the Wind Cave first. Located about 5km from Bau, the Wind Cave is opened daily from 8.30 am to 4.30 pm. The entrance fee is RM 3 for adults and RM 1.50 for children. Its is advisable to bring your own torch lights as the boardwalks are not lighted. If you forgot

Universal Studios Singapore
My next trip was to Singapore. I had a week off, so I decided to backpack around Singapore. There were a lot of places which I visited there. Therefore, I am going to kick it off by blogging about Universal Studios Singapore (USS) first. Opened in 2010, Universal Studios Singapore consists of 24 movie-themed rides, of which 18 which are specially adapted for the park. The park consists of 7 themed zones :- Far Far Away, Madagascar, Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt and The Lost World. Each of these zones is based on blockbuster hits, featuring character appearances, shopping and dining areas. Entrance of the Universal Studios Singapore Universal Studios Singapore is easily accessible by public transportation. Just take the MRT to the Harbour Front Station at VivoCity via the North-East line (purple line). Upon arriving there, follow the signboards leading to the Sentosa Express which is at the 3rd floor of VivoCity. Get down on the Waterfront Station - first statio
Gunung Gading
Whilst I was still in Kuching, I took the opportunity to explore the place even further. This trip, I headed over to the Gunung Gading National Park which was located in Lundu, around an hour plus journey from Kuching. Being overlooked most of the time, Gunung Gading is a great place to go for those who love the outdoors. I made my way here on a Saturday morning with my family. The national park can be a little bit hard to find as the signboards leading to it is kinda small and hidden away. After driving uphill for about 10 minutes we arrived at the entrance of the park. W e started our journey, after handing over our numbers to the park ranger. Entrance of the park The park's HQ The Gunung Gading National Park is opened daily from 8am to 5pm. Entrance fees are RM10 for locals and RM20 for foreigners. The park is not only known for the world's largest flower, Rafflesia, but also for its scenic waterfalls and wildlife. Spotting a Rafflesia flower is hard, as thes
Bako National Park
Hey there! Sorry for the late update. Been quite busy lately with my studies. I'm off once again, this time to Bako National Park. I was with my friends, Faris and Xavier. Since we all had a break from our studies, we decided to go to the national park. Bako is located approximately 37 km north of Kuching, and it takes around an hour plus to get there. Being Sarawak oldest national park, Bako is actually the smallest national park yet it contains all the types of vegetation found in Borneo. Being made a protected area since 1957, Bako has been reputable for its vast wildlife experiences. Visitors who want to spend more time here also have an option to do so as there are chalets along the Bako National Park Headquarter.
