Another +1 for Kuching here. It's a really cool place - there's loads to do in the city and nearby, but it's also a great place to use as a base to check out places like the Gunung Mulu National Park if you're interested in hiking but not interested in climbing Mt Kinabalu. Re: Taiwan, I've only been once, ten years ago. I spent a fortnight in Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaosiung with trips to Taroko Gorge, Sun Moon Lake, etc. You could also spend a week or more exploring Taipei and surrounds without getting bored. I can't wait to go back.

Heh, in the ten years since I've been to Taiwan I think I've only met a handful of other Australians who have been. I loved the place so much that I seriously considered spending a year or two there studying but wasn't able to pull it off. It's got the perfect mixture of ultra-modern cities and spectacularly gorgeous nature, and it's incredibly friendly and easy to explore. I like the bit how it's theoretically possible to go snowboarding in the morning, surfing in the afternoon, and scuba diving later in the day. I wasn't there at the right time of year to try that theory out, but... how cool is that? And the food is fantastic.. but Beer Taiwan is the only beer I've ever tried where the hangover happens as you're drinking the third beer, not the next day after a dozen. That's probably the worst thing about the place.
