In Sabah - Part Two

This morning, we visited Maktab Sabah or Sabah College.

Upon our arrival, we were greeted warmly by the students and teachers, and were immediately brought to their Hari Raya Open House at the school hall! How hospitable! Lol. After that, we had a dialogue and a school tour.

In the afternoon, our students discussed their plans for a joint sports festival, which was scheduled to take place the following day.

Later, we proceeded to the KK Wetland Centre, whereby the students helped picking up rubbish along the mangrove trail.

My colleague and I, on the other hand, took a walk around the mangroves.

Pretty scenic, right?

Walking along the trail took me 30 minutes. What I loved most was the fresh air, which really exhilirated and energised me. I haven't been so close to nature for a long time already.

In the evening, we decided to upgrade our accommodation. Why?

Well, it's like this. While on our way to Warisan Square yesterday, we came across a budget hotel. We popped in and made enquiries. The front desk lady suggested that we take 2 family rooms - one for 6 boys and another for 7 girls. There were only 3 single beds in each room, so the kids had to find ways to sleep! She was even kind enough to let us see the rooms.

My colleagues and I contemplated for a while, and finally, we decided to take 2 family rooms for the kids, and 2 deluxe rooms for ourselves. The hotel is called Lehotel.

The deluxe room we stayed in ...

When we broke the news to the kids, they were jubilant, cos the backpacker's really wasn't that comfy. For instance, in the room next to mine where the girls occupied, the double decker beds were rather rickety, and kept knocking into the wall when one of them tossed and turned.

Hence, they were ecstatic to stay at a newer and more modern establishment. They did not mind squeezing into a room at all. Believe me, it's an experience that they would remember for a long time! Lol.

Well, Lehotel was quite pleasant, much more proper than the backpacker's which we stayed in last night. In my opinion, it's even more comfy than Tune Hotel. After a freshening ourselves up, we went to the Filipino market, but that warrants another post.
