1st day in Sandakan, 3 hour flight from LCCT, no DVT :)
moved into our house, was unexpectedly big.
Two day b4 we arrived, js, pl and i called the uncle incharged,
n he gif me an impression of animal cage kinda size,
fitting 6 "IN A HOUSE" seems impossible,
luckily, in actual fact, fitting a footbll team in our house seems reasonable, there still got place for guest actually, haha, seems tht i worried too much.
Different ppl got different defination of "Small" and "big"
Fridge, tv, washing machines, hot water heater, bath tub....... it's kinda luxurious
cost us 1000 per month, with 300 as deposit
Guys share one room, but pl seems reluctant to sleep in the room, dunno whether he saw something tht we didnt see???????
Simple town, different ppl from KL, chinese is the most, i think ranging 50%, followed by Malay/Indon and 5% of Dusun and ?% of philippino. (no Indian i think, cause i only saw one indian near my place, may be she is doing elective, or she was not indian but charred from the damn hot weather in sandakan)
Beside classify the ppl here to races, they also can be classified into local, non-local and illegal immegrent.
Chinese speak cantonese and Hakka as well as mandarin, other speak Pelik-pelik punya Malay.
Food is "so-so" as compared to KL, worse as compared to Penang and Hulu Terengganu. Dunno will survive or not with my odd vegetarian diet...... nevertheless i saw one vegetarian shop, so, A star for sandakan inadvance :)
Monday will be starting our posting in Hospital Sandakan, a.k.a Hospital Duchess of Kent

u become full vegetarian liao?
Sandakan is called as little hongkong because of the presence of canton widely from hongkong and south china. They immigrate to sandakan for living and business purposes. so sandakan cantonese is quite different with the kl cantonese
