Kota Kinabalu Info - About This Blog. Hello There. Welcome to Kota Kinabalu info blog. This blog started as a personal writing hobby back on 18 March 2022, at the time we Malaysians are required by the government to stay at home for self-quarantine.
During that time the Covid-19 pandemic hit Malaysia and they hit hard. Airports all around Malaysia are closed. Tourism businesses also closed down. They are not required to open until further notice from the government of Malaysia.
A little bit about our background - we, the writer of this blog, worked full-time in a tourism company located in Wisma Sabah, in the middle of Kota Kinabalu city center. Previously, we, the writer of this blog has been working with the Diverse Borneo PADI scuba diving center then moved to Go Aquatic scuba diving center before being laid off from duty. The company closed for business due to Covid-19 pandemic.
We got back in business starting on June 2022. The company we have been working to get salary has been closed for 2 years all because the spread of Covid-19 pandemic. Now the world is getting better.
International flights from China to Kota Kinbalu has been closed since February 2020. Then starting on middle of March 2020, international flights from outside Kota Kinabalu from foreight countries has been closed entirely.
So the company we've been working for since 2017 has to close down. Chinese tourists have been main customers for the company. Now, in March 2020 since there is no more Chinese tourists in Kota Kinabalu many tour companies and travel agents has to close their business due to lack of customers.
Why We Start This Blog
All because we wanna write in depth about Kota Kinabalu. We feel so much passion when thinking about Kota Kinabalu as a tourist destination.
Our intention of building up the Kota Kinabalu info blog is to write blog posts to tell the latest stories about Kota Kinabalu, the capital city of Sabah, a state in Malaysian Borneo. In Borneo, you will see 3 different countries - Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia.
Sabah and Sarawak are 2 states in Malaysia that are located in Borneo island. Brunei is the neighboring country located in the middle between Sabah and Sarawak. Kalimantan is a state in Indonesia located next to Sarawak. You can find more information about this on Google for sure.
Why did we start this blog? The main reason why is we want to explain more about places and things to do in Kota Kinabalu, while you are in vacation. Most people come to Kota Kinabalu for holiday.
We noticed that there are not so many blogs talking about the latest info about Kota Kinabalu in 2022. So we want to tell something more about Kota Kinabalu in our way.
We live in Kota Kinabalu and we also work in Kota Kinabalu. In fact, we can write more detail about Kota Kinabalu from the perspective of a local guy because we actually live here in this very city.
We talk and write in American English. When we were a child we watched cartoons a lot - and the majority of them are in American English. Most movies are in American English too. We grew up knowing American English as the only English dialect we know.
