My First Backpacking Trip

I should write about it earlier,
but I'm kindda lazy recently.

so, as what i've mentioned in my title,
This is my very first backpacking and solo trip.
Although i didn't went oversea,
but i think borneo island is far enough for me as a first timer.

I'm very proud to say,
I went traveling with only one small bag and a camera bag!
cool right?

Its really lonely to travel alone,
especially for the first day.
walking alone in the city,
but hay,
at least i have my phone with data plan which keeps me connected to my friends :)

But the story changed during my second day.
I bought a trip to Gunung Ganding for the Raffasia,
and i befriended 2 Scottish, 2 Germans, 2 Swiss people and 1 Czech girl.
I'm the youngest among all and i'm also the only asian in this trip!
This is the first time feeling so 'international' 
I never befriended so many europeans even during my trip to UK and French last time!



We enjoyed the trip together and also,
we are really lucky to have 5 Raffasia blooming at the same time!

One thing i feel really regret is i didn't ask for their email.

I went to the Sarawak Culture Village during my last day of visit.
I have some talk with 3 Londoners during the ride to SCV.
It's a very beautiful place there.
Surprisingly, I met up with Anna and Lottie (2 Scottish girl) before i went back from SCV!
OMG! the world is so small!
i asked for their email address and say farewell to them.
I forgot to take a group photo with them!
GREAT!

Anyway, after i finished my dinner in the city,
walking back to my hotel,
I met Anna and Lottie again in Kuching Waterfront!
I joined them for dinner and we have a nice chat.

after the dinner, on my way back,
i suddenly realise that i didn't take a group photo with them again!
immediately, i ran back to the place we met.
I managed to catch up with them,
but i looked like a weirdo.
haha!

Oh, yea, i have to mention my host in Kuching,
Gabriel.
This is the first time surfing with someone i don't know.
and although he joined CS for awhile,
but i'm his first surfer!

I must be insane to accept his couch invitation,
as he have no comment from other surfer.
it's kindda dangerous.

But lucky for me,
he is a nice guy.
He bring me around for breakfast and treat me well.
Although he couldn't give me a tour around the city,
but thats a lot for me,
Thanks!
