A place like no others
28 04 2008Miri, a place like no others… 
This is not an exaggerated claim but this is true. Don’t worry, Sarawakians are modest people (as mentioned by Bongkersz here). Haha… Well the thing is, each place has its own uniqueness which is differs from other places. Hope you get my point. Don’t worry, there’ll be no bragging statements here… Just enjoy all the pictures yea! ;P And click to enlarge.
This is a small port mainly for personal boat(s) located at Marina Bay, Miri. This port is owned by Shin Yang Group, a dynamic leading corporation with diversified business activities such as construction, shipping (domestic and international), real estate, plantations, quarrying and other small businesses in just a short period of ten years (taken from here). How cool is that huh?
A very beautiful view taken from Marina Bay where you can see a big seahorse statue which is actually a light house. Truly unique isn’t it?
Coconut trees. A typical scenery that you may see in Miri especially at the beach. Oh not to forget, the Ru tree(s) although it isn’t in the picture.
I am not sure what is this though. At first, I thought it was a bundle of man’s hair. Haha… But my grandma told me that it is actually an ethnics’ ornament.
Lotus.
A giant seahorse statue which is actually a light house as I mentioned earlier. You know what, although I am a Mirian but I have no idea why they associate Miri with a seahorse. :/
A Borneo Tribals’ print.
So this is Miri YO! Personally, what I really like about my hometown is the beach even though it is not as beautiful as Sabah’s beaches. Really. And not to forget the extreme hot weather too!
Am I the first??

Beautiful pictures nono, especially the sea horses. Did you get to ride go-karts like they do in Super Mario Brothers? My friend and I used to steal golf carts from a country club and crash them into each other. We would wreck them and leave them for dead out in the woods. Thank you for providing a memento of your travel. Most will never see Malaysia.
Nor Izzatina Well done for the attempt writing your comments in bahasa Sarawak. ;P
saffa No problem, for sure I can bring you to Miri. In the future perhaps?
mar I am not trying to promote Miri cus I am not working with Ministry of Tourism Malaysia la! Haha… Kidding! ;D well mar, next time you should tell me if you’re coming to Miri next time. Sure I’ll bring you to Marina Bay or probably to any interesting places in Miri instead of Bintang Plaza! Haha.. LMAO!
