As a wrap up, i would say that i  love JEJU ISLAND more than Seoul. I am missing Jeju more than everythings. I love the people, Mr Buu and his family, the Yeha Family, the village, the natural smell of the sea, the green mountain, the remarkable cave, the weather and the laid back city, almost everything. Theres no empty space in my heart for Jeju. 
 
p/s : Thats why when you look carefully at my itenary, we dont spend too much time to visit tourist places in Seoul because we'd left our heart in Jeju. =(

Final Maggie Trip : Kota Kinabalu - Keningau - Kundasang Part 4

           as this trip was a very short trip, right after the Farm, we headed to Kota Kinabalu.. this time, we passed thru Ranau and Tamparuli.. i spent the whole trip sleeping soundly with my mouth wide open.. mcm serabai babai but at that time, i dah penat sangat kot... even my collegue pun sama jer =P

          From Kundasang to KK, it takes about 1 1/2 hour.. depending on  speed..but on our way back to KK, we stop by at several rest area.. it does not looks like the common R&R that we have here in WM but at such places they sell sourvenir and local food / junkfood...you can get batik, keychain, fridge magnet, "sumpitan", beaded bracelets and necklaces and bookmarks, varieties of local product made by local people and many more...as a commoner, i beli small beaded pouch and fridge magnet.. duit pun tak banyak kan.. klu yang nih pun company sponsor kan best...

these are among 1/100 sourvenir you can find along the way

rest area at Kinabalu Via Ferrata
 
sampai kk dalam pukul 12 sth.. straight away we headed to Filipine Market.. i cant be sure why is it call filipine market but after goole
reach kota kinabalu

gamat..besar giler.. klu i jumpa dlm laut, konfem i lemas sebab panic

varieties of local food made of seafood.. real cheap.. #Market, Kota Kinabalu
