Miri Trip 2015

At early of year 2015, I had gone to Miri with my friends as we went to attend Ning Ning wedding dinner. Thanks for the wedding invitation that I had opportunity travel to Miri.

Miri is Sarawak second largest city which located in Northeast Sarawak close to Brunei border. As I just went to Miri for a short trip so did not have times go to Brunei.

Kota Kinabalu (BKI) >> Miri (MYY) AK 6073 15:30

I travel to Miri from Kota Kinabalu with my friends so in the morning, I took ferry express from Labuan. The time we went to Miri, the sky was raining. Luckily the plane was safety landing at Miri Airport.

As in Kota Kinabalu also raining so I had plan to bring umbrella to Miri but thinking that the Immigrant staff will take my umbrella as he or she may think it is weapon. Last, I really think too much that actually can bring umbrella during local travel with flight. Then, in Miri I had bought an umbrella as 5 of us only has one umbrella that impossible to be sharing. Haha..

Before to Miri, my friend in Miri had helped us to book hotel which near with her wedding dinner place (Meritz Hotel) which is Kingsley Hotel. From Meritz Hotel, you can direct go to Bintang Mega Mall as both of them are combining.

After knew the hotel that we stayed, it’s time for me to search for a map to know nearby hotel have what places that we can go. Although Miri is small, I still took some time to get know about it and found out that the information about Miri is limited.

Below is the map that I get from Google which be a guide for us to go around.
