Sabah : The Sabah Museum

This is our first stop on arrival to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah - The Sabah Museum. Located at Old Palace Hill nearby Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kota Kinabalu.

Entrance ticket to Sabah Museum. Recently I develop the habit to keep & collect the entrance tickets to the places that I had visited.

This is the place for tourists to snap photos - to prove & to show others that ... yeah, I had been to Sabah Museum. Since no photos taking are allowed inside the exhibition hall, so I cincai snapped few photos outside the Museum. Cannot go back empty-handed :P

The antique Carcar car of yester-years.... Summore pink colour with wooden doors. Looks cartoonic :D It must be glamour sitting inside one of these cars during the early years :)

This is Kesapang (or Leguminosae). Supposed to be good for stomachache & fever.

Flags of all the states in Malaysia. Seeing the flags reminds me of our Jalur Gemilang song - Berkibar-berkibar di ruang angkasa, Dirgahayu bendera tercinta...

so huge geh this tree trunk...

I get myself the Sabah & Kota Kinabalu road maps ( for RM16.50? Can't remember the exact price...) from the Museum souveneir shop. I found it useful and essential to invest in proper road maps especially when we are travelling on our own. I'm really glad I bought the map or else we sure couldn't find our way to Kinabalu Park the following day.

Chen said...

sengkor,
It's definitely a plant, not an animal nor human :P Might be.. this is a weird looking plant?

butt,
I saw the explanation for the plant from the nearby flora museum. I dunno whether they eat or drink the plant to get the effect.

may,
Kkakaka.. what a brilliant idea.

What I see is .... lotsa lotsa ants on the plant. But since I resized the picture, u won't notice the ants. Those little black black dots ..

i wonder what'll happen to the passengers when it rains during those days in that wooden door car.

or did the 'Muzium' replaced the doors for display????

Chen said...

goober,
Mmm… good question :D
Might be either they use umbrella or they wear raincoat inside the car? :P

I had seen an interesting car too during my previous trip back to Kuching. Might be I will post that photo up one of these days :)
