  • We didn't know Borneo would be like this! We spent our first day in Kota Kinabalu exploring all the incredible sights and delicious food this coastal city has to offer! Kota Kinabalu, also known by locals as just KK, has a laid back vibe to it and we had a wonderful time meeting friendly locals and learning more about their culture and their hobbies!

    I am not a fan of travel vlogs, but after watching this one, I must change my mind. You 2 are very chill, and there is no race to match a preset itinerary of the required locations. Your videography and framing are nice. captioning and commentary are very helpful, and an explanation of where you are and what you plan to do makes everything cohesive. Most of all, it is your personalities and the way you communicate and interact with the locals and between yourselves that drew me in. Nice video, and I am headed back to your first video so that I can like them all.

    I remember battling and waiting so long to get a flight to Kota Kinabalu that matched a holiday. Finally managed one and so many friends in HK laughed at my choice/ignorant of the place. But had a ball. Seeing the long rooms of the headhunters and running Mount Kinabalu were highlights. Within a couple of years Cathay had many more flights there and it was a very trendy destination for HKers.

    • @FloraandNote
      @FloraandNote  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think the Todak seafood market would be a hit for HKers! We're heading to see Mt.Kinabalu next. Can't say we visited Sabah if we don't see it, right? 😆

      @@FloraandNote actually. When I sent to the market there was a violent confrontation between a Filipino stall and a local gang. It was a bit like an old style HK movie. The ride out to the mountain was a beauty. Enjoy! I recollect so many different churches - I remember our driver say ‘that is my church/mosque’ multiple times. After about his sixth church he said many Bornean people had multiple religions - just in case they died and had chosen the wrong one 🤣

    I’m so glad you enjoy my hometown during your first day. I can’t wait to go back soon to visit the family. There are so many more nice places to visit if you have a chance. The Mari-Mari cultural village, Kundasang / mount Kinabalu is a must to go. Go to the islands around too.
    For a nice rooftop sunset view - On23 Skybar at Hyatt centric hotel is a place to go. Other option, sunset bar at Shangri-la in tanjung aru. Could have refreshing bear and wine while watching sunset…
