Choosing the Best Tour Agent in Kota Kinabalu

I happen to had breakfast in Devis Curry house this morning, yes the roti is delicious there. Anyway Promande Apartment hotel lobby is just beside the shop. So you get to see tourist would stop in front of Davis and go into the main entrance of Promanade apartment hotel.  There was this particular lorry big a few Chinese looking tourist at the back of it. Try have a look:

Well anything could happen so it was nothing much to look at.. Maybe the transport they were using had some breakdown or something. So I saw them bringing down their luggage and so on entering the hotel.

 

Then I notice the driver of the lorry was doing something at the back of his lorry:

Notice the two item at the back of the lorry? Well I thought it was something mirror or TV being covered with a canvas & well the other item was a place . But no, the driver used it for something else…

Yes the driver just converted his lorry into a public transport now LOL. People can ride the lorry with out worrying about the sun now. The very same Chinese tourist came out of the hotel lobby and yes waited for the driver to finish setting up the tent hahaha…

The driver even show the tourist how they can climb up the lorry. I don’t see any of them having any problem except for the last guy.. yes he was the biggest there, not to mention carrying around his DSLR camera.

Well maybe the tourist them self rented the lorry. Where they are heading I do not know, as I don’t think I know where can they go with a lorry and not with a 4x4 vehicle  :)

Tips for those who are afriad of Ghost

I receive a forward email from Christy. It's is about How to avoid Ghost in Hotel Rooms. Not that I don't believe in ghost or anything, yes I do believe there are spirits. But I never really seen one, if I do ever get a chance to see 1. The first thing comes in my mind is to ask for a Jackpot Number and hope I win 1st Prize lol..

Anyway back to the main topic, I receive the email from Chrity and here are the contain:

Ok, here are some beliefs of the hoteliers:
For single hotels, there is at least one permanent room which should be left vacant at all times. No matter how full the hotel is, they are not to sell that room(s) to any guest. It is said that the special room is 'reserved' for those 'special visitors'.

So, if you plan to stay in some hotel, always book in advance. Try to avoid walk-ins. If the receptionist tells you there's no more room available, do not insist to get one anymore or try to bribe them to give you a room. If you do that, most of the time the room you have will be that 'special room'.

Sometimes those 'special visitors' might go to other rooms also, so here's some tips on how to protect yourself.

Before entering your room, always knock on the door first, even if you know the room is vacant.

After you enter the room, if you feel very cold suddenly and have 'chickenspore', leave the room quietly immediately and go to the reception to request to change room. Most of the time, the receptionist will understand what's happening.

After you enter the room, immediately switch on all of the lights, and open the curtain to let the sunlight in.

Before you go to bed, arrange your shoes so that one of them is upside down. Some say this represents yin and yang to protect you while you're asleep. Always leave at least a lamp on while you're sleeping, preferably the toilet lamp.

If you're staying alone and they have give you a twin bed, do not sleep with the other bed vacant, try to put your things, like luggage, on the other bed before you sleep.


Here are some tips on protecting yourself in the cinema:

Do not attend the first screening of any movies in the cinema. By the first
screening, I mean the first time the movie is shown in that particular cinema.
What's the reason?

The first screening is meant for the 'special visitors'. However, if you insist on going, then sit somewhere in the middle. The first and last rows are reserved for 'them'.
Be warned....

Ever notice the last row in your local Cineplex is always vacant? Now you know 'who' reserves the seats."

Anyone seen a real ghost? :\
