My trip to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

I went to Kota Kinabalu last week for 5 days to visit my long lost relatives which was my mom's mother and half-sister. It was fun! The place there was completely different from here. It was clean there and the shop houses were mostly joined together like a long house. The neighbourhood there was quite safe. Many people kept their gates open and were not afraid of robbers.

There were many kinds of seafood there. Some I question whether it is edible or not like the puffer fish. Lol! The beach there were clean and beautiful. The waters were blue and clear. No rubbish littering on the sands. The Manukan Island had a beautiful beach. The boat trip the island there was fun and it only took about 15 minutes.
