Sabah
Hi!
Today is the second day at Sabah and it's really a very fun and relaxing trip to go to!!
In the day, we decided to go to handicraft centre and it is walkable distance from our hotel and when we reached there, someone approached us for a boat ride for 30 mins around the island opposite Sabah for 55 Rm. It's a good deal and we took it.
We saw the zinc attap houses and apparently they are all Filipinos who are actually illegal immigrants living at the South China Sea. Really amazed to see the architecture there because they are able to build mosque there too! And the children there portray childlike and free to roam attitude! Amazing!!
Then we went for a boat ride to see Promiscus monkey, a species of monkey only found in Sabah. They are amazing breed of animals because they eat poisonous leaves and having two stomachs, they are able to sieve out the poison from the food!! And we spotted so many of them. Sadly they are currently endangered. With over 20000 of them in 1980s, now there are only 2000 plus. They are under conservation :)
And in the evening, they provided us with buffet dinner and it's so delicious. Ha..
The night boat ride is the most fun!! It's a tour to see fireflies and they are so many of them!!!! And guess what? They occupy selected trees and lit up the tree, just like a Christmas tree!! It's very hard to take pictures but the image is in my head! Amazing as to what nature can offer for us to see!! Ha..
Once I have the pictures, will upload!
