Trip to Sabah -KK

We have spent 3 nights at kk-the capital of Sabah.Two days after our Sandakan trip, another day after our kk mount hike before we headed back for KL.

For the 2nd night, we spent it at Tune Hotel, just RM8.10 per person per night as we booked it quite early during the promotional period. I miss the hotel a lot as it was really a nice one, new, clean,cheap and comfortable although the room was not that big. It was connected with One Borneo's shopping complex-the biggest in east Peninsular Malaysia. We did not really had a good look at the complex since we were short of time , but it was really quite big, all branded shops there.

Once we arrived at KK, we visited the Gaya Market , a weekly market that sold lotz of the local things . Right after that , we rushed to the jetty to catch for the 9.30am boat the Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks. The park consists of 5 small islands, we just visited Pulau Mamutik,Pulau Sapi and Pulau Manukan.In my opinions, I would rather prefer those islands at Sipadan site eg Mabul,Mataking etc. as it was more well-preserved and the coral there was nicer. The fish variety was not many, and most of the coral was dead since there are many tourists visiting the islands and killed the corals by touching them. For island like Sipadan there, it was farer from the mainland and most of the tourists go for diving there know how to take care of the creatures underwater. But the sandy beaches at Tunku Abdul Rahman park is nicer and softer than Mabul island. So the conclusion we got is ,next time just hop for island at SEmporna , there's no need for a second visit to Tunku Abdul Rahman Park,haha...instead we felt quite bored there without much fish to see.

In the evening , we toured around the University of Sabah. It's really big and the view is spectacular. It will so nice studying at such place, the hostels are like apartment up the hill, surrounded by trees, really a best place to study .

Special thanks to my friend's friends that purposely met us up and showed us around for the nice food and places.

Besides that, we had went to the Monsopiad Cultural Village in KK after the tour to Kudat. It is not a very big one compared with Sarawak Cultural Village. And the performances were just ok for me, but the guide from the village did explain quite well for us along the way. And I missed the chilled rice wine served in bamboo cup.
