Miri to Kota Kinabalu


Read the on-going Jeff's World Travel blog of Jeff Brad as he travels to Sabah from Sarawak. But the most shocking (oh well, not so much shocking, but more disturbing) is Jeff's revelation that Kota Kinabalu's night clubs are "a bit like Thailand". Some excerpts below:

Sat 15th Nov - Moving on from Miri today, to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, which is another independent Malaysian state.

You know how you make an initial opinion about somewhere within the first few hours? Kota Kinabalu...from now on just referred to as KK...is one of the great destinations of Asia. It has everything you could want of a city. Nestled in a superb location facing the South china Sea, with a backdrop of the magnificent Kinabalu mountain, at over 4000m. Gifted with a good climate and within easy reach of so many interesting places to visit. The city itself has it all. Not too big to be overpowering, but big enough to have a good range of facilities. Swanky shopping malls, great eating places, street life, a nice boardwalk promenade, with a great sunset tonight, looking out to the islands...oh, and beautiful ladies. Lots of friendly people who said hello as I passed...and still retaining that relaxed open feel to it.

Along the waterfront is an excellent market and food stalls area. Some nice fruit available and some artistic displays of fish ready for purchase or eating. It reminded me of a few other places I’ve been where the waterside came alive at night. As I said earlier…this place seems to have it all and in a nice balance.
