After having my breakfast, asked the noodle stall lady for directions to “parkcity”. 
I was told, that it was not in a “walkable” distance, so go take a taxi”. Before I did, I went around exploring the places around the hotel.
Just nearby to the “Capital Cafe & Restaurant” kopitiam. I saw this temple. Its like a mini mart underneath the temple which I find to be odd.
Temple
Greens!
Old Man
This old man was selling “red packets” infront of the temple. I didn’t “donate” anything and yet took the photo of him there.
Temple
Sorry, but I don’t know the name of the temple. This is the photo shot from across the street. Much better view
Dirty Shore
Right across the road, I walk towards the Bintulu waterfront. Overall the water looks clean, fishing vessel all over. But the shore..its abit sad to see some rubbish there. I even see electronic waste there. Refer to the photo.
Big Pedestrian crossing , I like!
Bintulu drivers seems to be civilized compared to some drivers in Kuching. At least for the day I was there. In Kuching, be prepared to be knock down by cars at pedestrian crossing especially at Waterfront, Sarawak Plaza and the Cat Statue. They have no respect for pedestrian crossing sometimes. In Bintulu, not much people passing by but still the drivers respect the law of the pedestrian crossing.

Yes, I went to look at the Gambier Street fire scene again while going over to my cousin’s place. They’re removing all the fire debris from the place. Some of the people were seen scavenging the area. Could be the shop owners.
Anyway, the road had been opened up, traffic still jam as many on lookers drive very slowwwwwwww….. through the gambier street.
All Gone
Removing debris

Heard about this news at around 9.30pm and I went over to the scene shortly after. I was told “india street is on fire !”. News spread like fire as well but wasn’t clear until I got there and found out it was Gambier street instead. But the people were already panic and started moving stuff behind India street incase the fire spread to the back row.
Crowds were helping out. Or some were looting if I am not wrong.
At 10.30pm, the fire seems to got bigger.
The fire fighters finally got through the traffic jam and went into India Street.
The last photo was taken on the 23rd December 2009. They still block the road as you can see, there are still alot of aftermath debris around. Basically, the fire put a hole between the row of shops. Few of the shops were burn down right to the ground. Not even the building frame is left.
