Accepting Christina & Liau’s wonderful hospitality in their very distinctive home, exploring both (i) Christina’s exotic kitchen and (ii) Liau’s awesome zeitgeist collections, catching up on admin and maintenance work (e.g. emails, travel blog, photos, financials, equipment) and preparing our upcoming travels to Sabah/Malaysia and Sulawesi/Indonesia.

US$ 15.- for the ride) from Tawau Airport to our comfortable hotel in downtown Tawau (… and, on this first day of the fasting month of Ramadan, watching a politically-correct awful commercial on 8TV which shows an ordinary non-Malay, non-Muslim, fun-loving Malaysian Chinese girl in modern 21th-century clothing who enjoys her food in public, and which ends with official messages urging viewers to avoid doing such things in respect of the Muslim holy month, thus confirming our perception of an increasing Islamisation and polarisation of 1Malaysia’s multi-cultural but segregated society).
