My family and I went to Sandakan in Sabah recently. As the plane was about to land at the Sandakan Airport, we could see the river, lush greenery, padi fields, villages and some farm animals. This was in direct contrast with both the Kuala Lumpur International Airports, which have urban and suburban surroundings.
Our trusty tour guide Lukwant Singh welcomed us with a garland of beaded necklace each and helped us load our bags into his 4-Wheel Drive. He drove us to a Muslim restaurant first, as it was still early in the morning and we wanted to have breakfast.
