I would like to spend more time exploring Kota Kinabalu, or KK as everyone refers to it. While in KK, we enjoyed great coffee at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, there were many old markets to explore and a unique waterfront with lots of old fishing boats to keep things interesting.
I would not return to Sandakan. It just didn’t do it for me. Why? There was nothing special to see. There is no apparent local culture. The food is not that great (relative to the area). The waterfront smells like sewage. The streets smell like sewage. The rats in the streets look like they have been living in sewage… ok, you get the point.
- Still horrible nearly five years later! I am here at the moment and agree whole heartily so pleased we are only here for one night. The market smelled unbelievably bad that we couldnt stay there. Shops are uninspiring, the restaurants by the harbour very dirty and staff unkempt. After koto kinabalu it is such a let down how can it be the same country?November 6, 2016 - 4:11 am
