I've enjoyed looking at the picture threads here, so might as well do another one.
I travelled with two friends/colleagues during late May/early June last year. We were all SEAsians and budget travellers. I won't say backpacker, since that word seems to have a negative connotation here. We're young but not of the rowdy backpacking crowd - we didn't do parties or get drunk, kinda boring tourists who just photographed things, but we did carry small backpacks for our stuff. Anyway, here are the pics...
Our hostel was on Jalan Laiman Diki, fairly central.
There were some eateries beside the hostel
We just walked around, eventually reaching a mall, Centrepoint Mall Sabah
The city was clean and there weren't much people around (Thursday, I think).
