Kuching Diary, October 18 - October 26, 2023 October 18, 2023 "The Malaysian Meteorological Department issued a thunderstorm warning for Kuching and other areas in southern Sarawak this morning-and yes, the rain is pouring down. First observation apart from that: unlike I was told, the city is not that quiet. On the contrary, during rush hour hardly anybody walks. Instead, fourwheelers dominate the streets, and traffic lights are rare. Pedestrians, beware!"
