Day 4 : People & culture. Tata Kota Kinabalu...
Guess it is time that we focus back to people and culture. If you thought Peninsular Malaysia is a cultural pot, think again. I find more truthful definition of peaceful co-existence in Borneo. People here are more friendly, more helpful, and more tolerant of each others' differences. Could it be that, as our material wealth develops, we loss humbleness and understanding? By the way, driving in Sabah is anything but stressful. Drivers are generally very patient (ie stopping for pedestrians, letting cars move into their lanes, etc). So it got me thinking. I sort of get into the conclusion that it's the drivers attitude that made the driving experience good or stressful. If all drivers are like KL'ites (honk freely, complain about other people's selfishness while staying in yellow boxes, double-triple parking, etc), how not to be stressful? How about we try to be corteous for a start. No point complaining; Action counts.
