Kuching, Sarawak’s capital<br />

city, is very similar <strong>to</strong><br />

many cities in Asia; they<br />

are mostly sited near <strong>to</strong> a river for<br />

convenience and also accessibility. A<br />

number of bridges have been built<br />

for city folks <strong>to</strong> access either side of<br />
