Malaysia 2.0

Another year, another fantastic trip to Malaysia. Returning to the island of Borneo, we came to Kota Kinabalu, a Chinese fisherman's settlement on the northeast coast along the South China Sea. Its name literally translates to the "Coast of the Chinese Widow." The city was destroyed in WWII, but has been rebuilt rather quickly in the last few decades. We came here for scuba diving (of course) and had 3 days and 1 night of fairly decent dives, albeit the first dive involved a boat ride through nothing short of a 30 minute monsoon.
