13 jan -Poring hot spring

We left Akinabalu and headed to Poring hot Spring. After a one hour drive, we reached this small town handicraft market, where we eventually shopped for...

musical instrument....Band Sepilok

The atmosphere was rather cold, surprisingly , for the town is only around 1000m+ from sea level. I shrugged at the thought of the conditions at mt kk peak.

I've been to poring on Jun 2007, so i decided not to go along with group. Besides, I"m kinda worried I drained all my stamina at the wrong time. Yea, I worried too much sometime.

I walked around, chatted with a aunt who worked in a fruit stall, guards, staff workers. The interesting part is, they thought I was a JAPNESE (I do have a good complexion, do I?) . In the end of our conversation, I got a handful of local stories about Mt Kinabalu and town KK. I hope they;re not lying to me, anyway, their stories were consistent.

The appealling stories was something like "moi~awak tau ada orang hilang di mt kk, mereka jumpa kasut dan baju tapi mayat tiada"
