Kota Kinabalu

Sabah is indeed a beautiful piece of land. Friendly people, closer to nature, a slow going town. If you would follow their living pace while staying here, you’ll notice that this place is a wonderful place to relax and unwind.

The villagers here lead a carefree life too, slow going and enjoyable. The kids enjoyed themself in a ditch of rain water when their parents head out to work in the city.

Even kids like them know about Facebook. They’d asked me to put their photos up on the social network to share it worldwide. Interesting.

The beaches are sandy and clean. But everyone has to play their part to keep it clean. A great place to snorkel and dive. I went to two islands for the cost of less than MYR 60. You can visit more islands too if you've got the time. Students with ID would get some discounts over the entrance tickets.

Waves may be a little rough and there are some surprises in the sea. So be caution during your dive and swim here.

As the sea is rich with living creatures, you may find much to explore on the beach and in the sea. Most of the corals are dead, but you can still see an occasional patch of anemone with clown fishes.

I’m not sure what this sea creature is, but it seemed to me like a transparent sea cucumber. They were washed ashore and were scattered around the beach.

If you like nature and wish to head for a slow-going vacation, Sabah would be an ideal vacation spot in Malaysia. The beautiful sea, sky and water makes it unforgettable.
