Short Talk:
Chinese New Year is just around the corner. I have not bought any of my CNY shirts yet. I need to send my car in for servicing which will cost me a bomb! Sighs... maybe I will just wear back my old clothes...no need for any new clothes this CNY. Haha...

I have made some changes in this post. According to the initial plan, I would be covering Sarawak Cultural Village and also the Lian Hua San temple. But after going throught the photos, I decided to leave out the Lian Hua San temple for there isn't much photos to show all of you guys. So this post will be on the Sarawak Cultural village only.
First the introduction of Sarawak Cultural Village.
The Sarawak Cultural Village is a must visit place when you are in Kuching.
Nestled underneath the legendary Mount Santubong and 35km away from Kuching City is the Sarawak Cultural Village.
Built on 14 acres of acres of equatorial vegetation, this living museum depicts the heritage of the major racial groups in Sarawak and potrays the respective lifestyle of the respective groups.
Here, it is possible to see all the ethnic group in Sarawak at a glance. Admire the handicrafts of each of the indegineous groups and be tempted to carry some of them back as souviners. Another not to miss event is the 45 minutes cultural show and music which depicts the various cultural dances of Sarawak,This is something you don't want to miss!
If you are staying at the Holiday Inn Damai Beach Resort and the Damai Puri Resort & Spa it is only 5 minutes walk away from the Sarawak Cultural Village!
In my opinion, the Sarawak Cultural Village is an eye opener for me. It clearly shows me all the different races of Sarawak. I surely have learnt a lot about the lifestyle and architecture of the different races that lives in Sarawak. The cultural show for me was a bit too long but quite entertaining in a way.
I am going to leave you guys with some photos of the Sarawak Cultural Village now.
