Brin and Megan - An Adventure of a Lifetime

Brin and Megan - An Adventure of a Lifetime
So, after 38 hours of travel (including a 14 hour flight from LA to Taipai) we're safe and sound in Kota Kinabalu, Borneo. The weather here is humid, and about 30 degrees, and we're planning to go to an island today to keep cool and enjoy the scenery.
Most people speak english here, which is nice, but some communication is difficult. Our first hostel was a bit of a dive, as it had no hot water, flooded toilets, and no other people staying there! As a result, we checked into a new hostel today and it is much better. The showers are hot, the rooms are clean, the toilets work, and there are other travelers here! We've already met a guy from Chicago, and we're going to go out bowling tonight. In a couple days we're going to get the ball rolling and go do some sightseeing, but for now we're quite content getting accustomed to our surroundings and getting a bit of R & R!

Hey Everyone! Thanks for the comments, and good to hear from you all! And to answer your questions mom, we just lazed around, listened to our MP3 players, and played some cards on our layover. We both slept amazingly well on the 14 hour flight... about 9 hours straight! It almost felt shorter than all our other flight! And the temperature here is around 31 degrees.
