It’s easy to get stuck on London’s tourist trail. Of course, whether you’ve been here once or 100 hundred times, it’s always fun to wander off the beaten path, perhaps more than in any other city in Europe. Before I get into naming some of my favorite London hidden gems, I thought it would be a good idea to discuss what I consider to be the city’s tourist trail. One day on the tourist trail, one day off the beaten path and one day completely outside the city, whether for a cultural day trip (like Bath, in the case of London) or into nature

Most of Malaysia’s most famous street food can often be found for under 10 ringgit, from nasi lemak, to laksa (Sarawak-style and otherwise) to Penang’s If you mix up your dining every day, I can’t imagine spending more than 100 MYR per day on food. As a result, two weeks in Malaysia will cost between 1,400-5,600 MYR (or about $350-1,400) per person, not including flights to and from the country (which, let’s face it, might cost at least as much, especially if you fly direct on Malaysia Airlines!). While it’s not uncommon to enjoy street food such as Hokkien Mee in KL or oyster omelettes in Penang for a few ringgit, restaurant meals often cost between 10-20 MYR—and sometimes much more, especially on the very high end.

In spite of being the capital of Malaysia’s Sarawak state, and the second-largest city in Malaysian Borneo, Kuching feels like a sleepy riverside town. Prior to leaving the city center, you’ll want to walk to the Cat Statue, which is iconic if only because it’s something of a city namesake Kuching is famous both for attractions within its city center (museums like the Sarawak Museum and Cat Museum; the Sarawak River) as well as as a base for day trips within Sarawak State, namely to Semenggoh Nature Reserve and its orangutans. This is true, whether you spend time in the cafés and museums in the city center near the banks of the Sarawak River, or take day trips amid the rock formations of Bako National Park or to visit the orangutans of Semenggoh Nature Reserve.

If You Need a Visa As I mentioned earlier in this article, coronavirus isn’t going to change the picture of travel long-term, at least not from a diplomatic perspective. If you needed a visa to enter a certain country before Covid-19, you will likely need one to enter that country afterwards. If you’re unsure as to whether you need a visa to travel to a particular country, contact that nation’s consular representative in your own country. However, it likely will mean that you can take advantage of electronic visa (eVisa) services, even if you previously had to visit a given country’s embassy in person.
