---

I was woundering on what to give the title of my next travel write up but cant find to name it as I went along brushing through places that I would think best to visit I remembered that the city of Kota Kinabalu came in varies of names in its past. What use to be known as Jesselton, Api -Api, Deasoka and singga mata is today shorten to be known as KK after Kota Kinabalu. Looking at the back ground of Kota Kinabalu at one time it was known as API-API after the avicenna tree which was abundant around costal kota kinabalu another theory came also from the bajau people which was at the time of the british administration which was burnt down by our local Mat Salleh. Which ever it was no one can say for sure where the name was inspired from. Today Kota Kinabalu is a bustling city of 350,000 inhabitans life is slower than Kuala Lumpur and we like it that way. The state has many tourist attraction to name a few the Tungku Abdul Rahman Island, Atkinson clock tower, Signall Hill Observatory, Muzieum, War memorial and water villages. Finding accommodation in Kota Kinabalu is pretty easy the city provides 5*,4*,3* and budget accommodations.

Sabah is the most diverst in ethnic culture with an official 32 ethnic, mainly the Kadazan, Bajau, Runggus and others are Murut, Lundaye amd orang sungai.
