Day 1: South Korea Trip - First time in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Day 1: Kuching - Kota Kinabalu (transit to Seoul)

As the transit point to Incheon, Seoul, South Korea, we reached Kota Kinabalu yesterday at 5pm. As planned, we visited One Borneo as said to be the largest mall on the Borneo island. However, there were controversy to go to One Borneo because at the beginning, we thought One Borneo should be quite near to the Kota Kinabalu International Airport, but actually, there's 40 minutes distance away... ~ far~~~ with expensive taxi charge. One way to One Borneo from Airport was charged at RM50, and taxi we took on the return to the airport was RM40. WOW!!!~~~ Sakit hati.. total of RM90 spent on taxi alone.

One Borneo is just next to UMS. Students in UMS are lucky because One Borneo provide free shuttle bus to their campus. There are 3 hotels sharing the whole big building with One Borneo. I guess that's what makes it the biggest. I am quite disappointed because the shopping centre has limited shops, not that big as I expected. There are Giants, Daisho, Skin Food (Korean cosmetic) and most of the franchise restaurant - Fish & co., KFC, McD, Big Apple and more. I am still prefer Midvalley with more shops and variety choices of food!
