13rd July 2008
I went to Kota Kinabalu with my coursemates for 7 days and 6 nights by Air Asia flight (AK5100) at 1.45pm on 13rd July 2008. I booked this air ticket during the promotion period and only costs me RM 162. This is the first time my footprint steps on the land below the wind (Kota Kinabalu). I was so excited and look forward for this trip. Yeah! Kota Kinabalu, I am coming.
Our accommodation at Kota Kinabalu city for 4 days at back packer gueshouse, named "The Beach Lodge" where located at Jalan Pantai which near the Milimewa market and summer lodge. It's only costs me RM 20 per bed per night (total RM 80 for 4 nights). This guesthouse location is very strategic and unit, but it located at 4th floor and without lift facility. That means you need to carry your heavy luggage to your room. The most headachy thing is you must climb up to 4th floor even your leg are very ached after climbing Kota Kinabalu (KK) Mountain. Oh my god! i can't imagine this. Hence, my advice is don't ever select guesthouse without lift facility if your main purpose to Sabak is for climbing KK mountain. The photo above is the room condition for that guesthouse.

We went out from guesthouse and "cari cari ambil gambar". There are lots of landmarks in Kota Kinabalu, such as Tugu Peringatan Malaysia, memorandun and Dewan Bandaraya KK, etc.
After taking photo, we went to "cari cari makan". Philipino Market is quite near from our place, so we decided to try the local food and fresh seafood (baked fishes) there. I have been uploaded some photos to Kota Kinabalu city day 1 album, you can take a look. The evening landscape at jetty where near the Philipino market is very scenic but there has strong fishy taste. The noodle sold there tastes delicious and ABC (air batu campur) as well.
This is the first gathering photo was taken by tourist from Indonesia. We slept very early tonight for tomorrow climbing KK mountain preparation. KK mountain, I am coming.
