Kota Kinabalu - Borneo

We left Brunei after one night. (this was enough time, theres not a truckload to do). We ferried back into the malaysian part of Borneo via Labuan Island. Kota Kinabalu is the place, and it is the capitol of the Sabah state of Malaysian Borneo. We found a sweet hostel, clean and friendly and right in town. There was an outdoor bar right downstairs, with nightly performances by a stunning trifactor of male keyboardist, and two dancing /singing girls, covering all the hits from the 80's. We stayed one night, but enjoyed it enough to book ahead for when we were back here again in 5 days.










This 86 year old chinese guy sat down with us and went through all his secrets to old age, including chewing this stuff to help your teeth (all of his had rotted away) and rubbing coconut paste on to cure cancer. he had 2 inch long white hairs sprouting from his ears.


Yum, these deep fried coconuty sugary things (3 for 1 ringgit, or 3 for NZ40 cents) from the market were the best food related discovery so far.
