It’s our eleventh edition of Mount Kinabalu Borneo.com Newsletter. If you notice, this newsletter page has changed. I have problem with the previous template, and now decided to get Wordpress to manage this newsletter.

Last month I received a story from a solo traveler and another story from a visitor. I came across Leif Pettersen’s article on his conquest to Mount Kinabalu - climb up as a solo traveler - before Mount Kinabalu Borneo.com came out on the net. As a token of appreciation, I have requested for his article to be published in my website. As the article is really long, I have edited to fit 4 pages. You might think that it would be boring to read 4 pages on your computer screen, but trust me, you will be really entertained with his hilarious story.

Another story is from Roselle de la Fuente. She went up on Mount Kinabalu, white water rafting in Padas river and SCUBA diving in Sapi Island in just 9 days. She also emailed me some photos of her journey, including a panoramic view of Mount Kinabalu.

If you think you have your own version of Mount Kinabalu climbing story, just drop me an email. I will be glad to publish it here.

Have you ever seen a pitcher plants before? Dr. Ravi Mandalam emailed me few of the well known pitcher plants in Sabah when he climbed Mount Tambuyukon last year.

I also shoot some photos of Terminal 2 Kota Kinabalu International Airport - the new low cost carrier terminal - particularly made for Airasia.

If you are climbing Mount Kinabalu with your children, I think it would be better if you can get some info on it. I got the basic guideline for mountain climbing for children from British Medical Journal. I know that there are still some issues going on, but it is good if you could take consideration on my suggestion.

Last but not least, if you are coming to Sabah as a backpackers, maybe this transportation suggestion will help you on planning your trip to Mount Kinabalu.

See you next week!
