What could be more contrasting in Mayaysia than this housing built by the Chinese when they occupied Kotakinabalu years ago and still used by the Malayan fishermen families today AND the gold leaf dome of this mosque? It's the same world over and the name of the faith makes little difference
Kotakinabalu Malaysia was the first stop outside of Australia and the first place we got off the ship. It is a study of contrasts just like so many places we will visit..signs of wealth and prosperity and depressing signs of poverty. They are very proud if their Glass Tower, only one of 5 in the world built from top down...you don't want the explanation of how they do that. Not a mile away we walked past these youngsters playing in their "backyard".
