MALAYSIA ROUND UP - 2018

I was in Sabah for a short break in March. This building, the Sabah Tourism Office in Kota Kinabalu (KK), is one of a few prominent structures which survived Japanese bombardment in WWII. All distances to towns in Sabah are measured from here.
Sunday Market in KK. All sorts of stuff are sold including live chicks.
Fu Yuen Coffee Shop is a modern coffee shop in KK operated like a fast food joint..
Ostensibly the best satay in KK sold in Yuet Cheong Coffee Shop, the oldest in town. Their coffee is up to par too.
KK from Signals Hill showing Jessselton Condominium to the right, the most expensive piece of property in KK now.
The Clock Tower from Signals Hill. This feature too survived Japanese bombardment.
These people were not waiting to welcome the Chief Minister but the boss of Sutera Harbour Resort, a Singaporean.
Stall selling ikan bakar (BBQ fish) in Tuaran.
Slices of Tuna sold in a stall in Tuaran Market. Notice the fish is not packed in ice, presumably bec it is freshly caught.
Tuaran River with its rope bridge which was featured in an earlier post on Sabah.
Crucifix of St Peter's Church in Kudat. Sabah has a sizable number of Catholics, many from the indigenous people.
A gong maker in the Sumangkap Gong Factory..

I can't leave any commentary on the above pix due to a technical glitch. Will post my commentaries after I have resolved the glitch. For now, just appreciate the pix.
