Round the World 2008

I just got to Kota Kinabalu on the island of Borneo in Malaysia after a day and a half of travel via Beijing and Kuala Lumpur. I got into Kuala Lumpur late, stayed in an airport hotel and left early this morning, but I’ll have more time to spend in the city after the next tour. We leave tomorrow for Mt. Kinabalu which we’ll attempt to climb in two days, camping over for one night on the mountain.

The last days in Japan just flew by. One day we went to Miyajima an island close by to Hiroshima where we climbed the twin peaks in the center of the island. The views were amazing.

Tokyo was like a blur. We saw as much as we could in the little time we were there and again I found myself saying goodbye to another group. I spent two and a half weeks traveling with Mill, Ken and Natalia who I also traveled with in China and I will miss them very much. China and Japan were both very different and it would be hard to say which I enjoyed more…but I know that I’d like to return and spend more time exploring both countries.
