  "A common place to cruise in Kuching is the back garden of the renown Sarawak Museum. It is very erotic as it is surrounded by graveyards. People here are very friendly and yet shy. Very cruisy, especially after 10pm on weekends. Wear long pants to prevent mosquitoe bites. Beware of pickpockets." -- younggun80, Aug 2, 2012
