In Sabah - Part One

I'm in Sabah now. Well, it's not a school holiday, nor is it a sightseeing trip this time. It's a study visit. 2 of my colleagues and I brought 14 students to Kota Kinabalu. We arrived at about 3.00 p.m. in the afternoon and checked into a backpackers.

Well, us teachers and the students have to pay for the trip on our own. No funding at all was given by the school. It's all our own initiative. The airfare was RM141. And we needed to find a cheapo place to stay so that the kids won't have to spend so much on accommodation.


It's RM75 to RM100 per room at the backpacker's, so we did not expect too much other than a clean bed and bathroom. We then spent the rest of the time at Centrepoint and Warisan Square.

Well, we don't have any place like Centrepoint in Kuching or Miri. There are lots of great shops here like Popular Book Store, Vincci, Giordano, and even the Japanese discount chain, Daiso. At Warisan Square, there's The Face Shop, Charles & Keith, Esprit, Padini Concept Store.
