First stopover in a town called Kuching to listen the ground a bit before heading to the road (well here it is also often "heading to the water"). First place to visit was Bako National Park not far from Kuching - an hour by bus and then 20min by boat.
Next places Kapit with a plan of visiting local tribes living in longhouses (houses built on the river). For getting to Kapit I need to take a fast boat for 5h to Sibu and then swap over to riverboat to Kapit, some 2-4h more.
In Kapit I might need few days, cause it is needed to be invited to longhouse. For this I need to listen around in the town and in local taverns. There is also option of going to longhouse with organised tour, but if possible I'd like to leave this as the last option.
Seems that whenever there is a market around, then I will be around aswell. Pictures from Kuching Sunday market. All the farmers and fishermen are coming to town already Saturday evening to be ready to start the business day already at around 5 in the next morning.

Preparing the fish for sale
Soft drinks in plastic bags. Seems the recycling system in Malaysia is working rather efficiently. For example if getting a Coke, they will pour it to plastic bag with ice and a straw and the can is kept in the store. The bags on the picture are filled with fresh juice.
