Sibu Day 1 诗巫第一天

Then (2003) and now 以前（2003） 与现在

 Sibu is one of my favourite towns.

Sibu is the first East Malaysian town I have visited …way back in 1990. Since then, I have visited Sibu 3 or 4 more times. The last time was in 2005 for the Legion fellowship.

I missed Sibu friends, their hospitality, Sibu foods and its laid back lifestyle.

Finally, after 7 years, here I am! ( My wife and I visited Sibu in 2003, Mrs Lee and others are first timer)

Today, the plane landed on Sibu new airport at about 2:30 pm, we – my wife and I, Mrs Lee, her daughter-in-law Wai Yee and grandson Marcus, were warmly welcomed at the arrival hall by old friends Joseph Wong and wife Rose, and Jackie Ting.

I was surprised to see the Phun clan association members were at the airport to welcome delegates from across the country for their official opening of their new clan building. I was invited to take a group picture with them. I am not in the invited list!!

As it was well past lunch time, Joseph and Jackie brought us immediately to the coffee shop to enjoy the famous Sibu local food:  “Ding Bian Hu” literally means “paste in a big vessel”

After checking into hotel, we went for a walk along the Rajang River to the evening market of local produces.

At night, Linda and Peter Teng fretted us and few others a sumptuous dinner with some local special dishes … very delicious.

This is day one in Sibu… looking forward to more exiting (and eating) days ahead!

诗巫是我最喜欢的市镇之一。

它是我第一个踏足的东马市镇。。那是一九九零年的事了。过后，我也来过三，四次。最后一次是在2005年，到来参加圣母军交流会。

可能是初恋之情吧，但我确实是喜欢诗巫，因为那里有着许多热情的朋友，诗巫的道地美食及悠闲的生活方式，深深的吸引着我。

七年了，今天，我终于再次的来到了诗巫。（我与太太曾在2003年到过诗巫，李太等则是第一次到访）

今天，飞机在下午两点半左右降落在诗巫新装修过，于九月十六日由首相纳吉主持正式开幕的机场。我和太太，联通朋友陈少芳（李太）及媳妇慧仪及孙子Marcus，在机场出境处，受到老友禄声和丽馨夫妇及冉颖的热情欢迎，及送上鲜花及礼物（给Marcus）。

我也很惊讶的见到诗巫潘氏公亲会拉着布条欢迎来自各地的宗亲们的到来，参加他们潘氏公会新大厦开幕典礼。我半推，半遥的与他们一同拍了张全体照。

以为是过了午餐时间，我们都肚子饿了，禄声等及马上载我们到街上的咖啡店享用诗巫著名，别处还没见到的“鐤边糊”。

进住了酒店，我们沿着拉让河畔，漫步到市中心的傍晚土产摆卖中心，见到了道地人家，特别是土著们售卖的土产，如蔬菜，榴槤等好多的土生果实。

晚上，热情的Peter 及 Linda夫妇招待我们一行人享用了一顿丰富的晚餐，品尝了道地的菜肴，美味极了。

 这是在诗巫的第一天。。我们期待更丰富，也更多吃得往后几天的到来！
