Kuching (Borneo)

We got a bunch of the Princeton group together for a big group trip to Kuching -- the capital of the Malaysian state, Sarawak (which is on the island of Borneo). I'm still amazed that this is what I get to do on my long weekends. I am ridiculously lucky.

Kuching has a wonderful boardwalk that lines the more popular area of town. Sunset drinks overlooking the river...

Tioman

Dan, Greg, Zoran, and I had an incredible 4-day diving trip in Tioman -- a tropical island in Malaysia only several hours from Singapore.

Hello Tioman!


Where we ate most of our meals.


Post-dinner sunset




We hiked to the opposite end of the island and arrived at this beach. It took us a few hours to venture across the entire island.


Here was our diving crew


It's time for me to go diving! (Rolling off the boat).
