Finding Paradise in Kota Kinabalu

We have finally made it to Kota Kinabalu - and it's even more beautiful than we imagined! We are staying at the Shangri La & they made our time here so memorable. We had our first teppanyaki Japanese meal, went parasailing, had incredible massages and hiked up to see some stunning views for breakfast!

[@ila021]

I'm so happy for you!! you've been such an inspiration for me...I'm from Italy, and I've always wanted to travel abroad but never been brave enough...but since I've discovered your videos the idea of leaving has become so strong, and now I'm organizing my first travel in Australia for next year!! A fresh new start! Thank you for your videos, have fun!! love, Ilaria

[@ila021]

Musnahkan Malaysia Bodo this is an absolutely awful thing to say...terrorist are everywhere and they kill indistinctly only to create terror, that is a terrible thing..why should I stop living for the fear of awful people? and why on earth should I be safer in Italy (which is actually several times being threaten!) than in Australia, or why should they want to kill me?? You've written an awful answer , terrorists' hate won't win! hope you were jocking

[@luqmanhakim2139]

ila021 he/she is from indonesion and some of them are fuckin jealous when foreigners talk about malaysia. But ofc not all indonesian are like that because most of them are very polite and what i can say is the anti malaysia sentiment is quite strong in certain part of indonesia. Please ignore it if you counter them in future. Sorry for bad english.

[@huiyangong1073]

Indonesians are jealous about their neighboring countries but yet they couldnt even curb their terrorist problem. I wanted to visit Indonesia and Bali but sometimes it made me scared

[@sambsstt]

I've stayed at both Shangri-La resorts in Kota Kinabalu, and both are amazing. Enjoy the orang-utan sanctuary at the Rasa Ria resort!
