Morning in Kota Kinabalu

Wow.  I am DEFINITELY halfway across the world.  Everything here is SO different.  And I'm not just talking about people driving on the wrong side of the road.  I'm talking fried noodles and rice pudding with soy sauce for breakfast.  And puppies for sale in the market for 25 ringitts, or around $8.  And certain fruits being banned from the hotel because they smell too bad.

This place is INCREDIBLE.  Everything is SO different.  I've tasted a million different fruits whose names I can't even pronounce.  And I'm loving this VES camera -- I've already taken around 200 National-Geographic-type pictures at our adventure through the market.  

Now we're in the lobby waiting for our professor to come down and board a plane to Miri.  

Another update soon!  :)

    Wow, so I know exactly which fruit you're talking about. It's spiky on the outside and the "fruit" is yellow and gooey with a pit. Durian! Smells gross, but I actually like it lol. Can't wait to see your pictures! Have fun!!!
