Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia

hi from the beautiful village of Sandakan !!

it's a small fisherman village in the east of Sabah, Borneo. I arrived here two days ago from Kota Kinabalu and I am staying at Mayfair Hotel, the best place in town coz it's in front of the fishmarket and has DVD and cable television in the room, all for 50 MR !! today when I was waiting for the bus to Sepilok (the orangutan sanctuary) I met Roberth, a swedish guy that is cool and we've been hanging out together. We went in a local bus to Sepilok and we've seen the orangutans !! that was awesome !! we also wanted to go and see the long nose monkeys, but there were no buses there, so only orangutans and a two houre trek in the jungle !! We just had dinner in the local fishmarket and still don't know what I'll do tomorrow, stay here one more day (people greet you in the street like a pop star coz there are no tourists !!) or leave for Sempurna and hit the beach ... will see !

all good my end,

O.
