Sabah Tourism Board
Kota Kinabalu is the capital of Sabah province in Malaysia. It is a small town which you can easily cover in foot.

Spend a day to discover the town- walk to Sabah Tourism Board on Gaya Road, walk to Clock Tower. From Clock Tower, walk 15 minutes uphill to Signal Hill for KK town view. You can shop at centre point, catch a movie, or buy some souvenirs from Filipino market.
Sapi island
Spend another day to one of the marine park. You can choose to go Manukan , Sapa or Tiga island. The jetty is also in walking distance.

Water sports are available in Manukan and Sapi but is subjected to changes depend on the number of people and the weather.

 When I was a child, I watched TV and learned that a tribe ate a kind of white fat worm in wood. So it's actualy Kadazan food called larva. It's a pity that I didn't have chance to see it in Sabah! How was its taste? ;)
