Kota Kinabalu - My first trip to Kota Kinabalu (KK) formerly known as Jesselton before 1967. Kota Kinabalu is fondly called by locals as simply KK and is the official capital state of Sabah - a huge state on West Malaysia. Kota Kinabalu is named after Mount Kinabalu, which is situated about 50 kilometres east-northeast of the city. Hence, a direct translation of the name Kota Kinabalu into English would be "City of Kinabalu" or "Kinabalu City".
Upon arrival, the luggage carousel broke down and the baggage handlers were figuring how to fix it until someone suggested to put the luggages on the next carousel. Soon the passengers dwindled but my luggage was no where to be found until I walked over to the broken carousel and it was the only luggage lying there...
Booking a Grab car was a breeze and within 1 minute, I am off to the hotel - friendly driver and spoke Hokkien and Mandarin throughout the journey.
My hotel strangely The Jesselton Hotel the post WWII hotel to be built after the Japanese destroyed the whole city.
Jesselton Hotel also has a cafe that only opens for breakfast.
Many memorabilia also grace this Hotel lobby.
