KCH Day 1 │ ADELYN's Homestay!

Welcome to Kuching

Exiting the airport, we received word from our good buddy Awang Amirul that our rental car was ready and waiting at a predetermined spot, with the keys safely tucked away in a secret compartment.

As always, we rented a car for the duration of our stay in Kuching for RM90.00 (≈ USD19/EUR18) per day. This usually gets us a Perodua Bezza, but just like our last trip, that model wasn’t available. And just like last time, Awang Amirul presented us with the same silver but slightly yellowish Toyota Vios.

We walked over, retrieved the keys, mounted the DJI Action 4, and began our drive to Adelyn’s homestay in Kenyalang Park.

First Meal Back in Kuching

After dropping off our bags, we immediately headed out to the local food court. We chose the path of least resistance — the stall with the shortest wait time — which turned out to be San To Wang Seafood.

We ordered Chicken Rice for RM7.00 (≈ USD1.50/EUR1.40) each, and together with drinks, our first meal in Kuching came to RM28.40 (≈ USD/EUR6).

Stocking Up for the Stay

After dinner, we made the short walk to Everwin Centre, the local supermarket, to pick up some provisions. With our essentials sorted, we headed back to Adelyn’s homestay to unpack and settle in for the night.

What’s Next

Stay tuned for a terribly busy day tomorrow — we have an appointment at a photo studio, followed by a dinner date with Jacob, Brendan’s former roommate at Cempaka College.
