Travel : Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

First series of my 2 weeks journey to North Borneo, namely Sabah (Kota Kinabalu, Tambunan, Kota Belud, Kudat and Sandakan), Labuan, Brunei (Bandar Seri Begawan and Muara) and Sarawak (Miri).

Alhamdulillah, for most of my trip, I was blessed with clear blue skies, friendly local assistants and good, or may I say lucky, timing.

Children playing beach football during sunset at a water village (Kg. Sembulan) in the outskirt of Kota Kinabalu. Most of the villagers here are foriegn immigrants from Indonesia and Philippines, making a decent living in Sabah, Malaysia. [Nikon D70s with Nikkor 70-300mm f4-5.6 G]
