Proboscis

This relatively rare and shy kind of ape, can only be found in Borneo, and we went on a excursion (by boat) to find some in their natural habitat. We were not as near as it may seem, but 5x optical zoom helped for this photo.

Denne sjeldne og relativt sky apesorten finnes bare i Borneo, og vi la ut på en liten safari (pr båt) for å finne levende eksemplarer. Vi kom ikke så veldig tett innpå, men 5x optisk zoom hjelper jo.

Direct decendant from monkies

The ”canopy walk” was 150 meter long rope supported roads, really quite far up in the treetops, and I am adding some difficulty to the walk.

Denne 150 meter lange gåturen oppe mellom enorme trærs trekroner, var ganske luftig, og jeg gjorde mitt beste for å øke vanskelighetsgraden.

Sun screen SPF 30

Both I and Veslemøy are quite worried about our skin, so we both used sun block on our skin, only difference was that while I actually enjoy “frying” in the sun, Veslemøy preferred shadows from plam trees.

Veslemøy og jeg hadde til felles at vi smørte oss inn med solfaktor 30, forskjellen var imidlertid at jeg synes det er relativt behagelig å ”steke” i solen, mens hun foretrakk den svale skyggen av palmetrær.

Snorkling among coral reefs

Although born and raised in a coastal town of China, the first time Veslemøy took the opportunity to swim in the ocean, was in Malasia and then even among colorful fishes and choral reefs.

Til tross for at Veslemøy er født og oppvokst I en kystby i Kina, ble første gangen hun la på svøm i havet, med snorkel og svømmeføtter, blant fargerike fisker og korall rev i Malasia.

5 star luxury

5 star luxury comes at a price, but how much? I’m Mr Hansen in room 105,.. ehh, well it worked out.

5 stjerners luxus resorts private svømmebasseng var vel egentlig forbeholdt gjestene, men jeg er jo Mr Hansen i rom 105 eller noe sånnt, åh, har rommene 4 siffer? 1105 var det nok ja, det ordnet seg.

Cheaper than China

The footstalls and markets were actually considerable cheaper than China, and the abundant access to fresh fish quite an asset.

Matbodene og markedene var faktisk en god del billigere enn Kina, og overflod av fersk fisk var absolutt bra ved reiseplassen.

Coconu drink and tequila "sunset"

Very nice relaxing at the Kinabalu seaside café-pubs, and not as crazy and commercial as Thailand.

Veldig fint og avslappende på kaffe pubbene ved Kinabalus sjøside.

Open air folk Museum

To preserve their cultural heritage, the Sabah region has created an open air folk museum, complete with buildings from several areas and techniques. When we were there, we were also lucky enough to take part in the annual event where all buildings come to life with traditional activities, such as craftwork etc.

For å bevare kulturarven, har Sabah regionen satt opp ett folkemuseum, ala en Malasisk versjon av Maihaugen. Arrangementet ”Sabah fest”, tilsvarende ”Maihaugdagene” var akkurat når vi var der og vi fikk se aktiviteter i byggningene fra gammelt av, danser og opptredener.

A waste of energy?

This guy definitely knew how to shape ceramics, however when he was done with all the items on the table to the left, he simply put everything together again into a big ball of clay. Today only for demonstration purposes.

Denne mannen visste absolutt hvordan han skulle forme kjeramikk, men når han var ferdig med alle krukkene på bordet til venstre, så knadde han alt sammen på nytt til en ball av leire, i dag var det visstnok bare for demonstrasjonens skyld.
