D8 - Water Village, North Borneo Railway, Sabah Art Gallery

Last day in Sabah, don’t want to go back Peninsular Malaysia, still got many places haven’t go. A state covered by sea and mountains, a great place to enjoy holiday. We fully used of last few hours in Sabah, We went to Water Village, North Borneo Railway Station and Sabah Art Gallery.

Through Sembulan Water Village, you simply can know how their life is. Simple wooden house on the water, water get polluted, kids playing around and running here and there. Wooden bridge or lane that connecting every house in the village, is their main road to go in and out, but within 20 steps, around 5 planks missing, some just blank it there, some use another wood to cover it. Looks not so stable, I really curious how they survive there, really salute them. I had to walk slowly and carefully when I step forward. Kids there still can take a Tupperware then catching fishes there. They are so cute and simple life.

Well, let’s move to North Borneo Railway Station. I wanted to see charcoal train actually, but so sad, the train only show to public on Wednesday. I asked permission from officer to let me go in to snap photos of antique train. He said: “ Ok. Faster. Faster”. Haha. Then I went in and walked around there.
