7th Floor, Warisan Square Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, 88000, 60-88-525-969-
I'm woken up by alarm clocks in neighbouring rooms, so I think to myself, hearing the happy snoring of my dormitory companions, that my alarm clock is just about to ring. So in a very humane effort, I decide to switch mine off and walk out of the room to prepare for the long day ahead. I find the corridors strangely empty, with only a few stragglers shuffling around in shorts and jumpers. It's mighty cold up here, but the body hasn't quite woken up, so there's no blood in the extremities to ...
Gunung Kinabalu, Malaysia killian
... other drivers and said, "Bye, bye...no ride for greed America. Bye bye. Bye Bye. Bye Bye." How about no fare for greedy Malaysian? He lost out, not us. That SOB can sit there and turn into a little sun dried Malaysian all day waiting for another fare for all I care!<br><br>Some other driver on the bus stop street told us 60 Ringgit and I told him he was full of what comes out of a dog's behind. I'll keep it g rated here but the ...
Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia atlpilot36... of junk. Spent a lot of money sitting around coffee shops with air conditioning and couches. We did it though, took us the entire day...and night.<br><br>Day 3: Day 2 of diving: Roughest boat ride out to the island, thought we were going to lose a couple of passengers and wondering how the diving was going to be under these conditions. Given we had completed our readings, we knew that possibly visibility might not be 100% since it rained all night and there ...

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia frdrick... we all swam in the river. Fortunately we didn't see any crocodiles/water snakes/pyrhanas but that doen't mean they weren't there!! What was quite funny was that the assistant guide who i think was there as backup, had been secretly drinking local wine throughout the trip - ever the proffessional. By the end he was absolutely battered, shouting at us to go faster in pigeon english while wearing his helmet back to front. Maybe you had to be there but it was funny as ...
Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia thebiga<br><br> Admin day…<br><br> Today we had a lot to sort out. Firstly the banks. After using Shelley’s phone to ring the fraud department we told them about what we was up to and they reset our cards. Next accommodation. We moved on to North Borneo Cabin hostel on recommendation from Camilla back in Singapore. The place had wi-fi so we could use our new gadget to our hearts content. Coffee and tea was free 24 hours ...
Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia shelleyandsimmo... night after midnight when people started returning to their room to find nobody at reception and the front door locked. Approximately every 30 minutes between midnight and 4:00 somebody would come to the door and bang as loud as they could for five to ten minutes until they managed to wake somebody up to let them in. This had to be staff because a key was required to open the door and they were the only ones that had keys. Around 2:00 the staff stopped ...
Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia aaronpolarbear... keine Läden oder Restaurants oder so, dafür einen Campingplatz und Tauchschulen. Jedenfalls fand ich die Insel für ein Naturreservoir etwas zu stark frequentiert und zugemüllt. Egal, wir hatten trotzdem einen schönen und entspannenden Strandtag. Leider haben sich die Tinas nicht mit einem Insektenschutz eingeschmiert und das bisschen was ich noch übrig hatte, hat nicht wirklich geholfen. Das Resultat, Tina und Tina jeweils 30-40 Sandfly-Stiche und Annabelle 3. Am Abend ...
Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia annainsea... eating! It was a three hour flight to Hong Kong where we had about a ten hour wait until our 9:15am flight to Delhi. There was no point spending out on accommodation for such a short time as we'd need to check-in at 7:15am. So we locked our bags to a row of seats, laid across the seats and slept there. We weren't the only ones doing it and all the three-seater sections were taken. So we had to settle for two-seaters and put our legs under the arm rest to stretch out over three ...
Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia tomandchrissy... I can proudly say I was last again! I have to say I could of cried those last few steps, it had taken me a further 5 hours and my legs and feet had given up on me. I really enjoyed the climb, Mount Kinabalu is the most strenous thing I have ever attempted and I found the experience a very emotional challenge but thoroughly rewarding! After the mountain it was off to retreat on the coast for a few days. Or so it was meant to be, but a few of us went ...
