My Trip to Sabah

     My second trip to Sabah in this summer vacation was right after the trip to Japan. After the trip to japan, my mother, sister and I were all obsessed with the feelings of traveling, so we arranged this trip right after we went back to Taiwan. Just like japan, Sabah was not in our plan at first, we even didn't konw that there was a tourist attractions. I had only heard this placename in geographic text book. Why this place came into our mind was because we were browsing Air Asia(a website) someday and saw an advertisement which said that the air ticket fare was very cheap to saba. So we searched the information about Sabah on the Internet and found out that almost everyone who have been to saba all recommented us to go. We booked the air tickets right away and also hotels. According to the last time's experience, we were more familiar with how to book hotels online and did it only in one day. Actually, we merely canceled this trip, because my father was worried about our safety, he thought only three girls went to a not so popular place was a little bit dangerous. But finally he sill consented to this decision and made this trip came to being. 
     I was so nervous before we our trip, still felt nervous after alighting from the plane because I was not knowing this country very well. I was afraid there was lots of bad guys, which was the stereotype. However,  the more you knew about this country, the more you loved it. People here were not so passionate like Taiwanese, when you saw them first you would feel that they were a little bit cold, but actually they were really kind people. 
     The concept of this trip was that a leisure and luxury trip, we didn't arrange a lot of tourist attractions to visit; instead, we booked two nights staying in very expensive hostels(two different hotels), which I thought was worthy. We spent time lying on the beach and watching the beautiful scenes, time seemed to stop at that moment. We also enjoyed the hotel's buffet , and we were surrouned by foreigners that was a great memory for me(it's so cool). There are lots of wild animal resources in Saba, we have saw several types of animals that are unique only in Sabah and rare to see, such as orang utan and proboscis monkey(長鼻猴). To watch orang utan(紅毛猩猩) is as important as to eat delicious food for us during the trip in Sabah. Because my sister is a big fan of orang utan, when she saw them she said that she wanted to bring them home that they were so cute. Half of the pictures we took were orang utan. Food, scenes, people, animals and both of my most beloved women created this amazing trip together; we tryied to relax ourselves and forgot about all the disturbing things in Taiwan. After this trip we are all full of energy, so I have to say Sabah is a really good place to relieve.
