Borneo, Malaysia

It is hard to believe I am in the city of Kota Kinabalu in Borneo that is part of Malaysian reagin that is located on the equator line, so it is very warm here. I am in my new hotel room at the Klagan Rengency, and it is awesome. It is on the tenth floor of a 19 story hotel. And it has a great view of the countryside and mountains in the distance looking east with a few other highrises and some large Muslim mosques nestled in the forest. My room is over 30' long by 15' wide with a wood planking floor, and the bathroom is very large too with a walk-in shower and large tile flooring. It has a king size bed. There is also a prayer mat in the closet to be used for only that purpose. I have a large 50" TV that shows country scenes from around the world if I want too, which is nice to look at. There is also laundry service available, which I really needed, but it is not cheap. I got to talk to the night manager at the other hotel, The Ming Garden, before leaving and we discussed the reason why I was leaving and he apologized for the high price I had to pay for the first three nights, but he was not allowed to match online bookings prices I had seen upon my arrival at the airport. However, it did motivate me the next day to look elsewhere, which led me to this hotel for $45 per night. Although, it did cost me $65 per night initially, for the first three night. The manager very find and helped me move my luggage from my room, called a taxi for me, and helped put them in the trunk of the car when it got there. We parted on very good terms, which I am very thankful for and blessed him. I can't believe things just keep getting better in every country I go to. I am so very blessed. It also rained the first four days in Borneo, but the weather has inproved since then. I have enjoyed getting the breakfast buffets at the last few hotels I have stayed at. They offer a varity of food I really miss and enjoy. I also get to experience new dishes. However, this hotel is eatra special because it is right next to a very large four story shopping mall that goes back over a thousand feet, it's called the Hypermall. It also has a supermarket inside where I can buy extra food, and there is also an ATM next to it, that really help me during my stay here. Yesterday I walked all over the first two floors, just to see what was there and meeting lots of people. I had one very special event happen when I first got there. There were two very young Chineses children in front of me as I was walking and the young girl, about 4 or 5 years old, came up to me and took my right hand and gently placed a kiss on the back of it, and then gave me a big smile. Wow, that really surprised and humbled me. I blessed her and her brother. It will be interesting to see what will happen while I'm here since it's been a while since I stayed in a country for three months. Borneo is a beautiful country with beautiful people if you go online and check it out. It seem to be the only way I really get to travel in these countries God send me to. But I am not here to be a tourist, I'm a son of God, with a messsage from His heart to declare to the people and over the nation. And I am so blessed and honored to serve in whatever way I can.
