11-07-02 to 11-07-06, Kota Kinabalu and Brunei

Mount Kinabalu and Kota Kinabalu
Nothing prevents theft quite like a giant leaf and sleeping staff.
I love televised cock fighting. There must be a website where I can bet on the world slasher cup.
The entertainment on the ferry to Brunei consisted of the B-movie "Titanic 2" and 80's german metal hairband karaoke.
Brunei
The infamous billion dollar Empire Hotel, built at the taxpayer's expense. When we showed up I thought they had the highest concentrations of bellboys in the most elaborate uniforms. It turns out they were just a bunch of military men from around the world there for an arms show. Going outside was enough to make you paranoid, dozens of ships on the horizon, planes and helicopters flying everywhere.
