I originally set up these posts for David to do, since he gets jealous that I do most of the posting of cool vacation photos, but since its been weeks since we ventured to Borneo (and I have a painfully boring call on at work) I thought it was time to post some amusing pictures:
This is quite often found in South East Asia. This is admittedly a pretty spectacularly large Rooster- but roaming poultry, even in close proximity to dining establishments, is not in the least bit unusual.
What is less expected is the following picture.
See if you can identify the oddity:
Check out a close up of the picture:
That's right- there is a picture of Hillary hanging at a open air "cafe" in the middle of absolute NO WHERE on the island of Borneo.
On our bus trip to the Monkey spotting river cruise- we took a much needed pit stop at a "restaurant" on the side of the road some hours from Kota Kinabalu. On account of the massive amount of cookies and chips that had been purchased at the hotel gift shop and subsequently consumed en route- we passed on food, but were left with some spare time to relax in the "cafe" while our trusty guide took their first of many "breaks" on this 1/2 day tour. The sights included the giant and frightening rooster above, some mangy cats, Japanese tourists taking pictures of said mangy cats, a barely tolerable restroom, food of questionable hygiene standards and the above picture of our Secretary of State. We assume that the gentleman next to her is a dignitary from Malaysia, maybe even from Sabah state, but our knowledge of Malaysian political officials is limited- so it could well be the cousin of the proprietor or the proprietor himself. While there are many explanations as to why this picture is hanging here- it is certainly entertaining. I am sure Hill would be happy to know she is worthy of wall art pretty much anywhere.
