I am back home but I will be a traveler for the next six days. Isn't that paradoxically exciting? In this Sabah travel blog series, I will include hints and tips, all these treasures are collected after being a Sabahan for 21 years. Let's start the story, shall we? The first day in Kota Kinabalu. We had brunch at Fuping, the best place for dimsu...

So, I arrive in Kota Kinabalu, not sure what to expect in Borneo. Whenever I mention going to Borneo, inevitably Orang Utans, Jungle and head hunters seem to come up... I'm here to see the first two and don't expect to meet the latter (at least not in the literal way)... I'm welcomed by pouring rain. Now, given it is the tropics and the rainy se...

After a long and cold (the air finally started to work) we got to kk at about 8:30 and returned to the same hostel as last time we were there because it was so nice. We brought along another Swedish we met at uncle tan's. He was quite nice and Stefen chatted him up for the whole time, alowing me to listen to my music in peace. It is quite funny ...

KK was really just an admin station for me for the mountain, so i wont bother to talk about the town itself. However, the day before the climb, me and Simon, a Swedish guy i met and climbed the mountain with, spent the day relaxing on Sulug island, one of the islands in the Tunku Abdul Rahman national park. We chose this island as whilst it is n...

So, today was the first day of our organised activities Not too intense, just a bit draining. Had a briefing at the KK city hall from the Department of Planning and Development followed by another briefing from the MIP (Malaysian Institute of Planners) followed by a walking tour of the city. KK is actually quite beautiful, if you blur your eyes ...

at Tanjung Aru beach, checking out the place for tonight's event (enggagement dinner lah)...

We spent several days in the not-wildly-exciting town of Kota Kinabalu, doing very little except rubbing our knees and eating western food (not all at the same time). Our next destination was Kinabalu National Park, home of the mighty Mount Kinabalu. Once upon a time, I wanted to climb it but after the 'Pinnacles Experience' I thought better of ...

The last couple of days have been spent resting my aching bones after the climb. I think it's safe to say i have never been in so much pain following an extended period of excerise. Its also cruel that the hostel i am staying in is full so that the only available bed is a top bunk. Oh the cruelty of having to climb another mountain everytime i w...

Allowed myself a bit of a lie in today before getting packed and checking out. Got the hostel owner to arrange a taxi for later and jumped on a train to KLCC (again!). This time we were actually going to go up the towers, so we got a few tickets and went for some breakfast whilst we waited our turn. Decided extra hot Nando's was the best choice ...
