I was glad that I managed to escape the terrible heat and haze we had in Kuching on Sunday on Sg Sarawak Kanan at Bau area shaded by the overhanging canopies of trees and cooled by the cold mountain stream and gentle breeze.

Paul and Emma from the UK and Franswa from France were fortunate enough to join me on this sunday escape and were so glad they did. If you folks are reading this, please don't forget to write to "The Lonely Planet Guide"!

And on the hazy subject of escape, someone pointed out to me that you don't need to look for the API Index (if they publish it at all and it's not today) in the local papers to figure out that the haze situation must be really bad; all you need to do is to read the headlines which daily are almost always on our top politicians. And if the headlines are not reporting on them but on some other matters; it simply means that they are all NOT around and have in fact 'escaped' from the State until the situation improves!
I think this is truly the real life Great Escape!

Stumble It!
