I'm running through the Singapore airport with 2 bags trying to keep my newly found travel buddies in sight. We finally make it to the Jetstar check-in, with maybe 10 seconds to spare before the computer locks us out, but our sprint isn't over yet. We now have 6 minutes to make it through security and to (literally) the farthest possible gate. We arrive out of breath as the sign flashes 'last call' and congratulate ourselves on having made it, only to find out the plane isn't actually boarding for another few minutes! Oh well, we've now had our exercise for the day.
LESSON #2: when booking a last minute flight be sure to note just how last minute it really is.
Fast forward 3 hours: I'm standing with my feet in bathwater aka the South China Sea with a full belly watching the sun set over the water and listening to drums in the background. I'm in heaven! Behind me the local teenagers are having a break dancing competition, with no music, and periodically yelling 'Represent Malaysia. What! What!', to my left a game of beach rugby and in front the islands I plan to visit tomorrow. I don't think I've ever been to a more relaxed place.
LESSON #3: to swim in Kota Kinabalu on a Sunday, when the beach is busy, you are best to be fully clothed.
LESSON #4: Bubbles are popular with children the world over.
