Your blog is so informative. Great! Yes, more and more arrival all over the world. Sabah is a greatest destination in seeking Borneo travel exploration and adventures. I stay in Sarawak but I felt Sabahan is so much luckier. I must say I love Sabah. Because of that, I like to promote Sabah tourism to the world which I'd work with Sabahan Travel Company sometime ago and it can be found in www.sabah.co.nr
Thanks, great blog!
