Went to the train station to have some simple shots yesterday with a friend. The old steam train is no longer available, unfortunately. Left only the carriages.
And the old train was replaced with a more modern unit, although the couch on the waiting platform was left untouched. Train service is currently unavailable.
The biggest open-air market in Sabah, held once a year. The best time to see the faces, costumes, and the culture of one of the local races – Bajau. More info available here.

A friend called me up yesterday morning, saying that there was some kind of a 4x4 event happening at the area. So grabbed my gear and headed out without delay. It was the Borneo Safari 2010. Although there were about a hundred vehicles, I didn’t really go to have a close look at everyone of them due to they only gathered at that place for a short while before they headed into the deep jungle.
Some of the participants’ machines.
