Here we are in Sabah! I'm very very impressed with the size of the hotel room. We're staying at Le Meridien Hotel and our room has a spectacular view of the South China Sea.
The room is more than 50 sq m. That's more than half the size of our teeny eeny weeny little flat in our homeland.
It helps that my sister's family is in the adjoining room. When the kids have gone to bed, we all took turns going to the pasar malam downstairs. That was the first time TheHusband and I have gone out on our own in years. The last time was when I was pregnant with Farah. :D
So far, our impression of Sabah has been very positive. It feels authentic. The food is great and the pasar malam just in front of our hotel has great (and cheap) seafood. That will be our dinner tonight.
We've bumped into some friends here. Apparently Sabah is the choice destination for a number of people who choose to do regional holidays.
We're looking forward to a walk through Kinabalu Park, a trip to a hot spring, snorkeling (well, not me; I will just enjoy the view from the beach), possibly some kind of rafting and generally lots and lots of fun with all the additional kids.

sorry, always excited wen i talk abt sabah.
We booked the hotel very very early (I have an in-house travel planner). They had special promotions and it was a total of slightly more than $500 for 4 nights. But that rate didnt include breakfast. That wasnt a problem because there are many eateries around the hotel.
what's at kundasang?
my next blog entry is all about sabah. eh, tell me when you want to go again. we might want to make another trip there too. :D
kundasang's like a mini-cameron highland, they say. Except no strawberries and cacti.. :)
