Sibu. East Malaysia. By the river. An interesting little town with a lot of history, great food and hm. Oddities? Like suddenly, there is a swan. This is at one end of a promenade, which curves from the Kingwood hotel to the local market. The market by itself is interesting as it is one of the biggest in the country. Add to that the fact that many of the wares offered are not commonly available in Peninsular Malaysia, this place is a trip!
There is a very remarkable change in atmosphere as you meander along the river. Can't explain it, but there is a certain Blade Runner to it, mixed with the first half of "The Beach".
And then you head for an event where the sponsor is a fish monger. Complete with a big freezer, selling frozen fish. Yes. Frozen fish. Which you buy during a gala dinner and then bring home like a trophy.
