When flying across from Sandakan back to Kota Kinabalu, most of the group who were sitting on the righthand side of the plane were treated to the sight of Mount Kinabalu, from really close distance. I'm assured that mountain was actually equally as high as the altitude of the aircraft, which I found hard to believe until from the airport, I took a picture of the mountain in the distance. It is quite high.
Anyway, thought you'd be pleased to know that I managed to get my flight to Singapore successfully in time. It was a tricky flight, that called by Kuching in Sarawak, Borneo. I thought I may have messed up when 5 minute after stepping off the plane for the 45minute stop, urgent calls for me came across the loud speakers, but when I responded to them, nobody seemed to care. I waited nervously for the flight to board and I think the ploblem was that I'd forgotten to pick up a new boarding pass, I found it creased up on a table near the gate.
I'll miss Borneo, it was a really interesting country, and my two weeks flew by. Tourism isn't too high there at the minute, but guess it'll soon take off. As a result, the locals seem genuinely pleased to see you and keen to help, rather than viewing you as a source of money to be exploited, which can often feel the case in many other places I've visited.
