A street in Seoul, South Korea has recently been named ‘Kuchingsouth-ro’ or translated in English to mean ‘Kuching South Street’ by the local authorities.
The street in mention is available in Guro City and is named such to mark the celebration of Guro City’s friendship with Sarawak’s Kuching South City Council (MBKS).
