Malaysia

Land of the Head Hunters: Flashing smiles welcome us to the longhouse, home to an entire village. Fourteen doorways line one side of the veranda and from them emerge members of most of the 14 families who live here. This is Sarawak, one of four states which make up the world's third largest island – Borneo - and once the home of fierce tribes of head-hunters.

Kuching: At dusk, the lamps are it along the riverfront promenade in Sarawak 's colonial capital, Kuching. Small boats ply the river which gave the state its name and families and couples stroll under the trees. Visiting Kuching is like stepping back 20 years, when Asian cities were less frenetic.

Kuala Lumpur: Be prepared to haggle hard in the markets of Petaling Street . It's steamy, noisy and lively – and a stark contrast to Kuala Lumpur 's modern shopping centres. But there's no doubt there are bargains for all in Malaysia 's capital.

Into the heart of Borneo: In a city where the river is the centre of daily life, the Hilton Kuching offers the best views in town.  Smack bang on the waterfront and a two-minute stroll to the main bazaar shophouse strip in one direction, the air-conditioned shopping malls in the other, this hotel is all about location, location, location.
